CJI Surya Kant said he asked all High Court Chief Justices to hold online hearings on Mondays and Fridays to cut avoidable expenses amid the West Asia crisis. Earlier, the Supreme Court opted for video hearings on them.
The Supreme Court, under Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, will no longer schedule regular hearing matters on Wednesdays and Thursdays, focusing instead on miscellaneous matters like bail pleas on these days. This decision aims to address the backlog of 83,410 cases and represents a significant administrative change since Khanna’s appointment.
