Pendency Concerns Being Addressed, Judges Being Appointed : CJI [Read Order]
Petitioner Ashwini Upadhyay drops prayer seeking cutting down of vacations and a direction to all courts including SC to work six hours a day, 225 days a year.The three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra today disposed of a PIL which sought urgent steps for reducing pendency of cases and appointment of judges to the High Courts saying “steps are being taken and no mandamus. Petitioner Ashwini Upadhyay drops prayer seeking cutting down of vacations and a direction to all courts including SC to work six hours a day, 225 days a year. KEY PRAYER DROPPED Ironically, the most interesting aspect of the PIL was a prayer to direct cutting down of vacations and that all courts including the apex court should work at least six hours per days and 225 days per year. Every Court including Apex Court must function at least six hours per days and 225 days per year.” At present, the SC has 193 working days annually, high courts 210 days and trial courts 245 days a year.
