BIG REASONS FOR DELAY

Vacancies galore

■ Sanctioned strength is 62 members, but NCLTs have only 28 members to hear all cases

■ Govt planned to raise number of courts and fill the posts so that the 28 members can be increased to 36 by next month Spl benches on back seat

■ Govt has set up 2 such benches in Cuttack and Kochi. It wanted to set up 3 in Mumbai, 2 in New Delhi and 1 each in Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad

■ Now the effort to set up these Benches will begin only when vacant posts have been filled
