7-judge-benches-to-hear-constitutional-references

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Tuesday said that he will soon constitute multiple seven-judge benches to adjudicate long-standing references pending before the Supreme Court.

 

“I am going to set up seven-judge benches soon, and hence, I may not get the time to hear the present matter,” the CJI said while adjourning the hearing of a case.

 

Earlier this year, the top court concluded hearings on two nine-judge bench matters relating to legal definition of “Industry”, followed by the conclusion of the Sabarimala reference last week.
