Sorry state of affairs', 'atrocious': 5 times Supreme Court criticised Delhi High Court orders

The Supreme Court has repeatedly criticized the Delhi High Court for its handling of certain cases, describing the situation as a “sorry state of affairs.” The apex court's comments reflect dissatisfaction with delays and perceived inefficiencies in the High Court's functioning. These instances highlight broader systemic issues in the judicial system, where delays and procedural bottlenecks often undermine access to justice. The criticism underscores the need for reforms to ensure quicker, more effective judicial processes, particularly in cases where delays could cause irreparable harm to litigants.
