Supreme Court Justice BV Nagarathna said judges use court vacations to write judgments and work late into the night due to heavy case workload. She also stated that the government is the biggest litigator and a major reason behind judicial backlog in India.
Justice Madhav Jamdar of the Bombay High Court explained the five-month delay in publishing a judgment, attributed to his heavy workload and late working hours. The ruling addressed the Transfer of Property Act, stating that purchasers must adhere to pending decrees. Recent judge transfers aim to improve judicial efficiency and balance workloads.
The Supreme Court of India defended judges’ work ethic, rejecting criticism on working hours and vacations. Justices expressed dismay at economist Sanjeev Sanyal’s remarks, emphasizing the judiciary’s workload and dedication. This emphasizes the court’s role in upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice in India.
