No regular vacation benches to be available in SC during winter vacation: CJI

Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Friday said no regular vacation bench of the Supreme Court will be available from December 17 to January 1 during the winter vacation. The CJI’s announcement made in the apex court assumes significance in the wake of Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s statement in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, in which he said there is a feeling among people that long court vacations are not very convenient for justice seekers.
