The new nomenclature for Vacation Benches has not changed the Supreme Court’s perception about its functioning during summer

Automatic vacation of stay is arbitrary, judgement in Asian Resurfacing was wrong, SG Mehta argues

The top court of India hears cases for 190 days a year, a significantly higher workload compared to its counterparts worldwide.

With 68,000+ cases pending at the SC, many criticise it for its 6-7 week summer vacation. This break, however, might be crucial for its work

The post-summer session of the Court saw pendency drop by almost 2,500 cases. Will this trend continue?
