The first 100 days of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant have focused on tackling the Supreme Court’s massive case backlog, promoting mediation, and tightening court procedures. His early tenure signals administrative reforms, stricter case-listing rules, and key decisions that could shape the judiciary in 2026.
CJI Surya Kant has promised strict reforms in the Supreme Court Registry after a petition already dismissed by a three-judge Bench was listed again before another Bench. Calling for accountability, the CJI said Registry officials who “think they are permanent” will face administrative scrutiny.
