With 4 new benches, how the Supreme Court plans to clear its oldest pending cases
The Supreme Court of India has established four special benches to address its oldest pending civil and criminal cases, as Chief Justice Surya Kant aims to reduce the judicial backlog. This initiative involves two benches focusing on civil cases and two on criminal matters, operating on non-miscellaneous days to expedite hearings. The move is part of a broader strategy to resolve decades-old disputes that have accumulated in the apex court.
