Chief Justice of India Uday Umesh Lalit on Thursday said media reports claiming that a Supreme Court bench has criticised the new system of listing of cases are “not correct” and all judges of the Supreme Court are on the same page.
Justice Lalit, who took over as the 49th Chief Justice of India on August 27, said the top court has adopted a new system of listing cases, and initially, there are bound to have some problems.
“Lots many things have been said about everything, including listing and other things. Let me clarify it is true that we have taken this new style, a new way of listing. There are naturally bound to have some problems. Whatever has been reported is not the correct state of affairs. We all judges are completely on the same page,” said Justice Lalit while speaking at a programme organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) to felicitate him on becoming the CJI.
