On January 2, 2025, Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna greeted lawyers and litigants as the Supreme Court resumed after a winter break. He announced that the email system for case mentions was down, instructing lawyers to submit physical letters instead, which would be reviewed for urgent case listings.
The Supreme Court has summoned chief secretaries of 18 states and Union Territories for failing to implement the Second National Judicial Pay Commission’s recommendations. Despite multiple orders, the states have not achieved full compliance. The court is determined to enforce adherence, requiring personal appearances to prompt the submission of necessary affidavits.
