New Delhi, Apr 09: Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud raised concerns about the trend of High Courts holding judgments reserved for prolonged periods, citing potential repercussions for litigants. This observation came during a hearing on a case related to arbitration proceedings, with a bench also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, as reported by Bar and Bench.
“What is a matter of concern is judges reserving matters for over 10 months without judgment. I wrote to all the High Courts. After the letter, I see many judges just de-reserving matters and listing them as part-heard. Honestly, after that long, the oral arguments do not matter and judges forget,” remarked CJI Chandrachud.
