The Gujarat High Court has suspended Wednesday hearings for old cases, affecting numerous pending matters across the state.
The Gujarat High Court announced on Thursday that it will suspend all Wednesday hearings for cases that have been pending for a long time. The decision, made by the bench headed by Justice R. K. Sharma, was issued to address the growing backlog of cases and to streamline the court’s schedule.
The court cited administrative challenges and the need to allocate more time for complex cases as the main reasons for the suspension. It also stated that the move would allow the judiciary to focus on urgent matters and reduce the delay in delivering justice.
Affected parties will have to reschedule their hearings, and the court has urged lawyers to file applications for new dates. The High Court will continue to hold hearings on other days of the week, ensuring that the overall docket remains on track.
