What a bench median can and cannot tell you

Bench speed is one input, and the honest use of it is triage: where to look first, not what a case will take. A median here is a historical fact about cases that have already ended — it is not a forecast for any live matter, and the mix of cases a bench hears moves it as much as the bench does.

The mix moves the median

A bench hearing more small operational-creditor petitions will look faster than one hearing large financial-creditor matters, because a case under ₹50 Cr closes a median 180 days sooner than one over ₹1,000 Cr. Each row’s own split by claim band is the control.

The backlog is the pressure

The median above is over cases that ENDED. The cases still running past the statutory limit never enters it, which is why the register carries the caseload and its age beside the median rather than under it.

The clock is the reader’s, not ours

Withdrawals are out of every timing figure on this page: a Section 12A settlement exits early by design and would flatter a slow bench. They stay in the verdict split, where they are an outcome and not a duration.

As of NCLT/NCLAT orders to 15 Oct 2026 · IBBI publications and the Form G register · bench attribution as stated in the source documents · medians are historical, over the record since 2017, and are not a forecast for any live case.
