LIMBS is an online database of court cases in which GoI is a party. It has information on 6,45,000 live cases. Since case details are updated unevenly by different ministries, it is far from perfect, but LIMBS offers a bird's eye view of the nature of the problem. Around 42% of the cases of the ministries of finance and defence are more than five years old. The same holds true for 55% of cases in railways, 49% in labour and employment, and 36% in CAG.
