SC announces to have specialised benches to deal with criminal, tax, land issues, MACT matters

New Delhi, November 23: In a major development that can help the Indian judiciary to deliver justice as soon as possible, the Supreme court will have four special benches to conduct proceedings in issues relating to criminal matters, direct and indirect tax matters, land acquisition matters and motor accidents claims tribunal.

 

 

The 50th Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud made the announcement on Tuesday (November 22).

 

He said. " The Supreme Court will have four special benches for conducting the hearing on issues -- criminal matters, direct and indirect tax matters, land acquisition matters and motor accidents claims tribunal -- from the next week."

 

 

 

CJI Chandrachud asked the lawyer to mention the matter before the special bench dealing with land acquisition and said that if he is not mistaken, then it may be Justice Surya Kant who will be leading benches dealing with land acquisition issues.

 

Last week the CJI bench also apprised about a full court meeting decision that each Bench of the top court will take up 10 transfer petitions and 10 bail matters every day to dispose of all such matters before the winter vacation.
