New Delhi, Dec. 1 -- With sweeping procedural reforms taking effect from Monday, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has introduced new guidelines aimed at streamlining the listing of cases before the Supreme Court.
Under the revised system, urgent mentioning will now be strictly limited to exceptionally urgent matters such as imminent executions, anticipatory bail, eviction, dispossession or demolition.
The reforms are designed to curb the daily rush of lawyers seeking urgent listings and to save valuable court time.
CJI Surya Kant has issued four circulars outlining the new listing mechanism, which mandates automatic listing of most fresh matters, particularly those involving personal liberty, without the need for oral mentioning.
