In an unprecedented situation in the Supreme Court on Monday, a single-judge court heard and disposed 33 cases. Much to the surprise of the advocates and litigants, Justice Gupta held the court on his own. “Your Lordship, for the first time during the last 25 years I am seeing single judge sitting and dealing with the cases in Supreme Court,” Rohatgi said. Sources said that Justice Shantanagoudar apparently reported unwell following which Chief Justice JS Khehar convinced Justice Gupta to hear the 33 cases listed. Most Supreme Court judges are out of the Capital for the summer vacation.
