Justice Alok Aradhe

Justice Alok Aradhe, alongside Justices Pamidighantam and Sri Narasimha, presided over a series of hearings in the Supreme Court, addressing diverse legal matters ranging from tax appeals to infrastructure disputes. The court consistently scrutinized petitions for delays, dismissing several, including those filed by Cholamandalam Insurance and Shree Cement, citing excessive delays and insufficient explanations. While some petitions, like those involving Jharkhand Bijli Vitran and Delta Corp, received extensions or were scheduled for further hearings, the court also took action in cases like Al-Nafees Frozen Food Exports, dismissing petitions and granting liberty to re-file. These proceedings highlight the Supreme Court’s rigorous approach to procedural compliance and its willingness to dismiss cases with significant delays, potentially impacting the timelines and outcomes of ongoing legal battles.
