Justice B.V. Nagarathna

Procedural diligence continues to be a hallmark of Justice B.V. Nagarathna’s Supreme Court proceedings, as demonstrated by recent hearings involving diverse cases from Bhullar vs Ritzy Chemical to SBI vs Revankar. The court consistently addressed delays in filings, granting condonation in several instances while also ordering relisting of matters where counsel responsiveness was lacking. Notably, Nagarathna also presided over decisions impacting rent recovery stays and permitting the filing of special leave petitions, such as that brought by RSWM Ltd regarding a dispute over solar power policy interpretation. These ongoing procedural considerations highlight the judiciary's emphasis on meticulous adherence to legal processes, potentially impacting timelines and outcomes for litigants.
