💨 Abstract

In a recent hearing, the Supreme Court of India criticized high court judges for taking excessive breaks and called for performance audits. The court highlighted complaints about judicial efficiency and highlighted a case where four individuals were delayed in their acquittal by the Jharkhand High Court, spending extra time in jail as a result. The bench emphasized the need for timely judgment delivery to ensure personal liberty and justice. The court ordered that data on judgment delays be collected from high courts and will address the issue further in July.
