Sixteen would seem like a lot of judges if they all sat en banc (as a whole group) to hear each case, but a court of that size may hear cases in smaller panels (groups with fewer than sixteen judges). The number of judges or justices on a supreme court (the US Supreme Court only has nine justices) is usually directly related to the caseload (number of cases) they handle. Countries with very large populations, such as India, hear more cases each year than countries with smaller populations.
