DY Chandrachud On How Cases Are Allotted To Different Benches In Supreme Court
"In the last two years, more than 1 lakh cases were disposed of. Now a Chief Justice can't assign 1 lakh cases. So, it's not true that the Chief Justice assigns all cases that are filed in the case, it's not true. Chief Justice publishes the roster assigning the work that court no. 1 will get this category of cases and court no. 2 will get some other category. Within that roster, the cases are allocated by the computer. Now, some cases need to go to specialised benches, such as tax and commercial cases. So the chief justice identifies who in the branch can deal with these specialised cases," former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud told NDTV.
