Delhi HC delivered 378 judgments on Day 1 after summer break
Despite working at a current strength of 60%, the Delhi high court delivered 378 judgments on July 1, when it reopened after a four-week summer break, according to data accessed by HT. This included 362 judgments on the 'appellate' side and 16 on the 'original' side. The Delhi high court delivered 362 judgments on the 'appellate' side and 16 on the 'original' side. (Representative photo) To be sure, while the high court in 'appellate' side deals with civil and criminal matters, the court in 'original' side deals with commercial matters, including intellectual property rights, arbitration and cases where the suit value exceeds ₹2 crore. On the appellate side, two benches led by court's third senior-most judge Navin Chawla, along with justices Shailender Kaur and Renu Bhatnagar, disposed of 306 civil cases. A bench of justices C Hari Shankar and Ajay Digpaul resolved 20 cases, also on the civil side. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma single-handedly disposed of 10 criminal cases, and justice Jasmeet Singh delivered six of 16 judgements pronounced by the high court's original side. The judgments not only reduced case backlog, but the detailed judgments also laid down legal principles and guidelines that could serve as precedents in future cases. In one instance, justice Sanjeev Narula in an 82-page verdict on setting aside the sentence review board's (SRB's) decision to reject premature release of Santosh Kumar Singh—serving a life term for the 1996 rape and murder of law student Priyadarshini Mattoo—issued guidelines for the Delhi government to ensure that SRB's decisions align with the objectives of the policy and uphold fairness and justice. In a separate ruling, justice Narula held that fugitives could apply for pre-arrest bail under the Indian law governing extradition. Coming to the aid of an eight-year-old autistic girl, justice Vikas Mahajan reaffirmed that educational institutions were legally obligated to provide inclusive education and accommodate children with special needs under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act. In an 85-page ruling, bench of justices Navin Chawla and Shailender Kaur dismissed 226 petitions filed by Centre against the disability pension awarded to ex-armed forces personnel, ruling that pensions can't be denied merely due to the disability occurring during a 'peace posting,' and stressing the need to recognise hardships of military service. Even as vacation benches continued to hear urgent matters three days a week, other judges continued with their effort to bring down the backlog. In June, bench of chief justice DK Upadhyay and justice Tushar Rao Gedela directed the consortium of National Law Universities declare revised CLAT PG results, after finding two errors in the consortium's answer key. Additionally, a bench of justices Prathiba M Singh and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora specially assembled during vacation to assess the progress of authorities in cleaning a smelly culvert accessed every day by over 3,000 soldiers of Rajputana Rifles to head to their parade ground, and the construction of a foot overbridge to address their ordeal. While the Delhi high court continued its work during the summer break, the Supreme Court, in November 2024, replaced the term 'summer vacation' with 'partial working days', acknowledging that a section of the judiciary remained operational throughout breaks. Even during the current break of the Supreme Court, which commenced from May 23, Chief Justice of India BR Gavai renamed the vacation as 'partially working days' and marked a departure from the practice of senior judges including the CJI, not holding court hearings during summer break, by assembling in the first week along with the four senior-most judges.

'All vendors and food establishments have been strictly instructed to comply. Legal action will be taken against violators,' he added. As part of broader security and administrative preparations, internet services in the district will be suspended from 9pm on Sunday, Meena said. Additionally, the permission request for the yatra by self-styled cow vigilante and Goraksha Bajrang Force chief Raj Kumar, alias Bittu Bajrangi has been rejected, and his social media account has been suspended to prevent the circulation of fake or inflammatory content. Bajrangi had moved the Punjab and Haryana high court seeking permission to participate in the Jalabhishek Yatra. The order is part of a wide-ranging effort to respect religious sentiments while ensuring the yatra concludes peacefully, officials said. Due to anticipated traffic diversions, all government and private schools in Nuh district will remain closed on July 14 to ensure the safety of students, officials added. Extensive security arrangements Security arrangements for the yatra are extensive, with 2,500 police personnel deployed across the district. This includes 14 deputy superintendents of police (DSPs) supervising 28 checkpoints, where videography and thorough security checks will be conducted. Additionally, mounted police, sniffer dogs, bomb squads, four drones, 21 video cameras, and commando units will be stationed at strategic locations. Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel equipped with light machine guns (LMGs) and tear gas will also be deployed. Officials said special vigilance will be maintained at Tiranga Park, Badkali Chowk, and the KMP Rewasan Bridge. To further tighten safety protocols, the administration banned the open sale of petrol and diesel in containers across the district on July 14. Ban on aerial objects, control room activated A blanket ban on aerial objects, including drones, gliders, microlights, kites, and firecrackers, is in effect for July 13 and 14 under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, officials said. A control room has been set up on the second floor of the Mini Secretariat and will remain operational until 9pm on Monday, with helplines available at 01267-299625 and WhatsApp +91 90503 17480. The administrative and security framework is intended to prevent a recurrence of the July 31, 2023 clashes, when violence broke out during the yatra, resulting in stone-pelting and vehicle arson, officials said, requesting anonymity. Additional director general of police Sanjay Kumar has reviewed preparations on the ground, emphasising inter-departmental coordination and continuous patrolling, especially in hilly and sensitive areas, officials said.
