The Supreme Court of India defended judges’ work ethic, rejecting criticism on working hours and vacations. Justices expressed dismay at economist Sanjeev Sanyal’s remarks, emphasizing the judiciary’s workload and dedication. This emphasizes the court’s role in upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice in India.
When conflicting judgments of equal benches arise and a larger bench reference is pending, the judgment delivered earlier will prevail, as per a recent Allahabad High Court ruling. Upholding judicial discipline, the court emphasized the doctrine of stare decisis, ensuring consistency and predictability in legal decisions. The case was referred to a larger bench for decision.
