The Orissa High Court will remain closed for summer vacation, but arrangements have been made to hear urgent matters on specific dates. A dedicated bench will be available to handle critical cases during this period.
Today, On 12th November, the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, discontinued oral mentions for urgent hearings, requiring requests to be submitted via email or written slips. This change aims to streamline processes and enhance efficiency, though critics argue it may hinder immediate access for genuinely urgent cases needing swift judicial response.
