Law & Order Lower is better
Court case pendency by district (Tamil Nadu)
Total pending cases at District + Subordinate courts for each of Tamil Nadu's 38 districts. Raw caseload (count), not population-normalised: no authoritative TN district population series spans the 32 -> 38 district reorganisation, so a per-capita rate would be fabricated. Live NJDG snapshot.

About this indicator
This shows the raw number of cases awaiting disposal in each Tamil Nadu district's courts, indicating where the judicial backlog concentrates within the state. Because it is a raw count rather than a per-capita figure, populous or commercially active districts will naturally show larger caseloads without necessarily being slower per case. To judge relative congestion, weigh the caseload against a district's population, court strength, and filing volume rather than reading the raw number alone.
