Judges should sit in vacation to reduce pendency of cases: CJI

Published on: 

The Chief Justice of India in his address recalled the highest traditions of Judiciary at the Allahabad High Court and threw light on its history and geography. He quoted some land mark judgements of this High Court including that of Zamidari Abolition to provide social justice. Chief Justice of India JS Khehar recalled the contribution of over a dozen legal luminaries of Allahabad and said that the Allahabad High Court had provided five Chief Justices of India.

later Justice Khehar turned nostalgic while sharing `Dil Ki Baat’ with the audience, and admitted that he had learnt a lot from the lawyers. He called upon the Judges to sit in the vacation for five days to decide petty cases, and this will bring down the pendency of cases manifold. Allahabad High Court is known for taking a lead, and this time it should once again avail this opportunity, he said and added that it would make a new beginning.
