Madras High Court refused to direct National Company Law Tribunal to urgently hear plea by Karti P Chidambaram. Court held constitutional courts should avoid fixing timelines except in exceptional circumstances.
The Supreme Court directed that Teesta Setalvad’s plea for passport release be heard by a three judge bench. Noting her bail was granted by a similar bench, the court held parity in bench strength was appropriate for consideration.
The Delhi High Court said setting aside a lower court order does not question a judge’s integrity, with Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma making the remark while hearing an additional sessions judge’s plea seeking deletion of adverse observations.
