During its vacation month, we looked back at the Court's summer session, and launched a special series on 75 years of the top Court

In May, the top court reserved judgement in one of the oldest nine-judge bench case and granted interim bail to Delhi’s CM Arvind Kejriwal

In April the Supreme Court heard two Constitution Bench cases and delivered a verdict on a crucial case concerning electoral transparency

Fewer working days and two nine-judge benches in April meant that the Court closed the last full working month with a high pendency

In a month where the Court worked for just 15 days, pendency increased by over 400 cases

In March 2024, Division Benches of the top court passed crucial orders which impact governance, elections and free speech

In February, the Supreme Court heard three Constitution Bench matters and delivered two judgements

The Court’s institution and disposal rate last month was the highest over the past five Februaries

Pendency continues to have a healthy drop in 2024, though the week-long Holi break of March might slow down the developments of February

The SC maintained its steady disposal rate January 2024, leading to a reduction in pendency numbers from December 2023

December saw the Article 370 judgement, hearings against Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, Justice Kaul’s retirement and more. 

In November, the Supreme Court heard cases pertaining to elections and deferred the PMLA judgement review
