The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) urged the Supreme Court to scrap the 50% no-objection rule for listing cases during vacation. It said the rule forces advocates to stay in Delhi even if they have just one matter.
Former Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud dismissed claims about excessive vacations in the Supreme Court, emphasizing that judges work tirelessly year-round, including weekends and holidays. He highlighted that even during breaks, judges manage critical cases, deliver judgments, and engage in legal outreach, debunking the misconception of a leisurely life.
