Supreme Court gives High Courts green light to conduct criminal trials during legal vacation
The Supreme Court has dismissed an interim application seeking to restrain the Chief Justice from enforcing warrants authorising selected High Court judges to conduct criminal trials during the legal vacation.
The court further noted that the fact that some criminal cases were not being heard during the legal vacation did not mean that the administration of justice would not be advanced to some extent.
The court observed that there was no existing precedent preventing the Chief Justice from issuing warrants for courts to continue hearing cases during the legal vacation.
