Delhi’s lower courts are grappling with a severe space crunch, exposing a long-standing crisis in the allocation of lawyers’ chambers amidst a rapidly growing legal fraternity.
Today, On 13th June, The Kerala High Court set new guidelines for judges’ chambers and the signing/uploading of judgments post-retirement to ensure timely delivery of judgments and proper use of court resources. This comes after allegations against a retired judge who continued visiting her chambers and accessing case files. The guidelines require judges to submit pending judgments and restrict the use of chambers after retirement.
