There will be at least one Constitution Bench in Supreme Court throughout the year: CJI-designate U.U. Lalit

The Hindu  

Justice Uday Umesh Lalit, who is going to take oath as the 49th Chief Justice of India on August 27, 2022 assured that the Supreme Court will strive to have at least one Constitution Bench functioning throughout the year. Justice Lalit said a clear-cut mechanism would be in place to allow lawyers to mention urgent matters, which includes bail petitions, etc., before the respective Benches for early listing. It would also help litigants and lawyers to avoid delay in getting their cases listed for hearing before judges due to the long-winded processes of the Supreme Court Registry. Due to COVID emergency, the priority was running the courts… Unfortunately, during the past 16 months of my tenure as CJI, full-fledged hearing was possible only for about 50 days,” Chief Justice Ramana told lawyers in the court on his last working day.
