The Chief Justice of India (CJI) disclosed that this judgement was made following a recent full court meeting.
13 benches will really decide 130 cases day and 650 cases weekly. The Supreme Court is now hearing more than 13,000 transfer cases.
Additionally, CJI Chandrachud stated that bail cases would receive priority treatment.
“All judges have requested me not to give supplementary boards because judges are reading matters till 12 am and early morning. We are being informed that there are 10 more cases. That is why I am trying to reduce the supplementary board,” he said.
He clarified that the all benches will take up 10 bail cases everyday.
