Chief Justice B R Gavai will break tradition by holding court from May 26 to June 1, 2025, during the summer break. The Supreme Court has established 21 active benches, a significant increase from previous years. This initiative aims to enhance judicial efficiency and reduce case backlogs throughout the summer vacation.
Justice B.R. Gavai announced that the Supreme Court of India will operate with three Vacation Benches weekly during the summer recess, countering the traditional notion of vacations. This change aims to ensure continuous access to justice, demonstrating the Court’s commitment to reducing case pendency and facilitating faster resolutions even during breaks.
