The Kano State Judiciary has disposed of 71,914 out of the 102,234 cases filed in the 2022\u20132023 legal year.<\/p>\n
The Chief Judge, Justice Dije Abdu-Aboki, made this known during a ceremony to mark the 2023\u20132024 new legal year in Kano.<\/p>\n
Abdu-Aboki said that the judiciary currently has 30,320 pending cases, including criminal and civil cases from the State High Court, Magistrates\u2019 Court, and Shari\u2019a Court.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf the 102,234 total cases received, 29,108 were criminal, out of which 23,009 were disposed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe appeal section of the High Court successfully translated 90 per cent of documents and records of proceedings received from litigants and the Upper Shari\u2019a Court, she said.<\/p>\n
According to her, the review of legal practice within each legal system, including the successes and challenges, will help in projecting the speedy dispensation of justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cRelocating courts to other places that were in deplorable condition also contributed to delay in the disposal of cases,\u2019\u2019 Abdu-Aboki said.<\/p>\n
She, however, commended Governor Abba Kabir-Yusuf for approving the completion of abandoned courts along Zaria and Zungeru Road in the Kano metropolis.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Gov. Yusuf expressed his commitment to collaborate with the judiciary for the effective administration of justice.<\/p>\n
He hailed the Chief Judge, Grand Khadi, and judicial officers for their tireless efforts.<\/p>\n
\u201cKano State, under my stewardship, is an adherent and believer in the rule of law and also a believer in the independence of the judiciary.<\/p>\n
The governor assured that his administration would do everything possible to assent the independence of the judiciary in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
He urged the nine newly appointed judges in the state to be fair and just when sworn into office.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not let your emotions override the interests of the people of Kano,\u201d Kabir-Yusuf said.<\/p>\n
