“Don’t Want SC To Be A ‘Tarikh Par Tarikh Court'”: CJI DY Chandrachud

The Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Friday stated that we don’t want the Supreme Court to become a ‘Tarikh Par Tarikh Court’.

The remarks by the Chief Justice of India came while observing the figures relating to adjournment.

Earlier in the morning, when the bench headed by CJI Chandrachud assembled for the hearing, the court took note of adjournment slips circulated in the months of September & October.

“We don’t want the Supreme Court to become a “Tarikh Par Tarikh court,” Chandrachud stated urging lawyers not to seek adjournment as it defeats the very purpose of expediting the case.

CJI stated that it defeats the trust of the citizens and doesn’t show a good image of our court to the country.

The court noted that 3,688 adjournment slips were circulated in September-October month by lawyers. The bench noted that there were 178 adjournment slips today.
The CJI stated, “I request the members of the bar to not seek adjournments unless really necessary.”

CJI stated that he has been monitoring filing to the first hearing of matters to ensure that the period is reduced to a minimum. The court said that some matters are mentioned for seeking adjournment.
