The Delhi High Court Bar Association has moved the Delhi High Court challenging the Full Court’s decision to form a judges’ committee to examine raising courts’ pecuniary jurisdiction in Delhi from Rs 2 crore to Rs 20 crore.
The Delhi High Court questioned the DHCBA’s decision to abstain from judicial work over proposed pecuniary jurisdiction changes, with Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav observing that lawyers’ strikes ultimately harm litigants and grievances must be raised through proper legal mechanisms.
The Delhi High Court directed the Delhi government to frame a policy within four months for speedy refund of court fees after dispute settlements, observing that the absence of a codified mechanism causes unnecessary hardship and procedural delays for litigants seeking refunds under the Court Fees Act.
