UNSPLASH
Andhra Pradesh has secured the overall second rank among 18 large and mid-sized states with a population of over one crore in delivering justice, according to the India Justice Report 2025.
The state rose from fifth place in 2022, while Karnataka claimed the top spot in 2025.
The state also ranked fourth in the ‘prisons’ category and fifth in ‘legal aid,’ the report said.
The report combines the latest official statistics from government sources with data from the four pillars of justice delivery—police, judiciary, prisons, and legal aid.
Each pillar was analysed through indicators such as budgets, human resources, workload, diversity, infrastructure, and trends against the state’s declared standards and benchmarks, the report added.
Andhra Pradesh ranked second also under the police pillar, followed by fifth place in the judiciary and legal aid.
