Calling Delhi the “nation’s laboratory for judicial innovation”, CJI Surya Kant marked the importance of specialised courts for timely and effective adjudication of complex criminal cases.
The Court stated that since all anticipated vacancies up to 1 December 2025 had already been included in the earlier recruitment process, the respondents were under no obligation to conduct a separate examination in 2025.
Delhi High Court observed that the petitioner was enrolled as an advocate in 2010 and he fulfils the requirement of “continuously practicing as an advocate for not less than 7 years on the last date of receipt of applications”.
