Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh has witnessed a notable decline in the registration of revenue-related cases, the state govt claimed on Friday.
A spokesperson said that the pace of resolving pending disputes has been significantly accelerated. "This dual achievement has not only ensured timely justice and relief for farmers but also brought greater transparency and efficiency to the administrative system," the spokesperson said.
Compared to the financial year 2023-24, the number of pending revenue cases has declined in all divisional courts of the state in 2024-25. While 1,29,296 cases were pending as of April 1, 2024, this number dropped to 1,15,319 by April 1, 2025—indicating a reduction of 13,977 cases in just one year.
Significant improvements were also seen in older cases. The cases pending for more than three but less than 5 years reduced from 13,797 to 8,832. Cases pending for over 5 years dropped from 70,336 to 51,473, the spokesperson said.
Among the state's 18 divisions, Agra resolved the highest number of 3,381 cases, followed by Gorakhpur with 3,222 and Varanasi with 2,897. These figures underscore the government's focus on delivering swift justice to farmers. In Agra, pending cases dropped from 10,335 to 6,954, Gorakhpur saw a reduction from 14,002 to 10,780, and Varanasi brought down its pending cases from 17,106 to 14,209.
The spokesperson said that CM Yogi Adityanath has issued clear directives to ensure that land-related disputes are not neglected under any circumstances. District magistrates and revenue department officials have been instructed to review and expedite the resolution of pending cases regularly.
The introduction of online monitoring systems has further improved transparency. "These steps have helped countless farmers gain rightful ownership of their land, ending long-standing disputes that once consumed time, resources, and caused social discord," the spokesperson said.
