CJI irked over non-listing of urgent cases by SC registry

New Delhi: Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi Thursday expressed displeasure over the functioning of the Supreme Court registry concerning non-listing of cases for urgent hearing, saying that "there was something fundamentally wrong" about it.

A bench headed by the CJI was irked over the apex court registry and said that every day there is a long queue of lawyers who want their cases to be listed for urgent hearing on the ground that they have been deleted from the cause-list despite court's order to the contrary.

Justice Gogoi has been working -ever since he took oath as the 46th CJI on October 3, 2018 - to devise a mechanism where lawyers are not required to mention cases for urgent hearing and get listed automatically before a bench within a stipulated time. See P6
