New Delhi – “Judges reserving matters for over 10 months without judgement is a matter of concern,” said Chief Justice Dhananjay Chandrachud.

Chief Justice Chandrachud further remarked, “If the case is heard again after that long, the oral arguments made in the previous hearing do not matter and judges also forget many things. I wrote to all the High Courts regarding this matter. After the letter, I see many judges just de-reserving matters and listing them as part-heard.”
