A review of the Central Administrative Tribunal on August 4, 2026 highlighted online services and a lifetime disposal rate above 93 per cent. According to the Personnel Ministry, chairman Ranjit Vasantrao More said more than 9.32 lakh of over 10 lakh cases received since the tribunal's inception had been disposed of.
Those figures describe cumulative case handling. They do not disclose median waiting time, the age of pending cases or whether a newly filed case will be decided quickly. A large disposed share can coexist with a difficult backlog.
The tribunal's own introduction explains its specialised purpose: disputes over recruitment and service conditions involving covered public posts. For those litigants, practical access to case records and hearings matters separately from aggregate performance statistics.
The ministry listed electronic filing, virtual hearings, alerts and certified copies among the functions of its Advanced Case Information System. These can reduce particular procedural burdens, but the release does not quantify their effect on time to judgment.
The meaningful next comparison is therefore between like measures: new filings and disposals within a defined period, alongside the age of unresolved cases. The review establishes what the chairman reported and which services were described, not a measured causal link between digitisation and faster justice.
