Only 2,484 out of the 3,057 cases submitted last year were concluded. In 2009, 3,488 were completed.
Meanwhile, magistrate courts in the islands closed 840 criminal cases while 1,644 cases were completed by the superior courts, reported Haveeru.
Nearly 1000 fewer criminal cases were reported to the courts in 2010 than in 2009.
