A Delhi District Court issued a show-cause notice to notary Suman Sharma for attesting a defective affidavit in Suresh Nakhua’s defamation suit against YouTuber Dhruv Rathee after she repeatedly failed to appear despite summons, even through video conferencing.
The Delhi High Court approved an expansion of jurisdiction for Civil Judges in Delhi District Courts, allowing them to hear higher monetary disputes. This move aims to increase efficiency, reduce case backlogs, and align Delhi’s courts with neighboring areas. The decision reflects a strategic approach to judicial management and is expected to improve the overall responsiveness and efficiency of the court system in Delhi.
