Judges Of Bombay High Court Overburdened, Can't Fix Timeline For Disposal: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court rejected a request to impose strict timelines for the disposal of cases in the Bombay High Court. The petitioner argued that significant delays in the justice system are causing hardships to litigants. However, the Court observed that given the backlog of cases and the limited number of judges, such timelines would be impractical. It emphasized that while timely justice is crucial, structural reforms and additional resources are necessary to address the core issue of judicial delays.
