What are the cases before the new CJI?
Over 54,000 cases are pending in the Supreme Court. A Bench, led by Justice Gogoi, recently agreed to monitor the setting up and functioning of special courts to try cases against sitting Members of Parliament and the Assemblies. One of the biggest challenges for Justice Gogoi would be the pending petitions against Article 35A, which provides special status, rights and privileges to Jammu and Kashmir. A batch of petitions challenging nikah halala — which involves a female divorcee marrying someone else, consummating the marriage and then getting a divorce in order to make it allowable to remarry her previous husband — awaits Justice Gogoi’s attention. It is also to be seen whether Justice Gogoi would decide positively issues like live-streaming of court proceedings and continue with the publication of Collegium resolutions on the court website.
