16. The accompanying Table (No. 3) shows the categories of proceedings for the disposal of which Benches had to be constituted and the periods for which those Benches worked. A judge of this High Court sitting singly has powers to dispose of first appeals valued upto Rs. 7500, second appeals irrespective of valuation, criminal appeals other than those involving sentences of death or transportation for life, all petitions under section 115, C.P.C. and other matters. It would be worth considering whether the pecuniary limit upto which a single judge can hear and dispose of first appeals from decrees can be raised to Rs. 15,000 and those from orders to Rs. 20.000. By enhancing the jurisdiction of a single judge to the aforementioned limits, we think, on an average about hundred judge-days can be saved every year.

The appellate jurisdiction of District Judges in this State has already been raised to Rs. 10,000 and appeals below that value are now filed only in the District Courts. Some relief can be given to the High Court by the transfer of pending appeals below this value. The accumulated first appeals which constitute the largest portion of the arrears in this court, will at the present rate of disposals require for their disposal at least two Benches sitting for this purpose throughout the year for two years.
