Justice Manoj Misra

Justice Manoj Misra, alongside Justice Vijay Bishnoi, presided over a series of hearings in the Supreme Court throughout September 2026, addressing diverse legal matters ranging from tax disputes to labor law and cooperative society regulations. The court frequently grappled with petitions facing significant delays, demonstrating a willingness to condone delays under certain circumstances, as seen in cases involving KSRTC Provident Fund Trust and Amravati Cooperative Bank. However, the court also dismissed petitions citing excessive delays without satisfactory explanation, such as those brought by New India Assurance and Chhattisgarh Textbook Corporation, highlighting a strict approach to procedural adherence. These developments underscore the ongoing scrutiny of legal processes and the court’s careful consideration of both procedural timelines and underlying legal merits.
