In the order published on the court website on May 30, Justice Madhav J Jamdar recorded that despite pronouncing the judgment in open court on December 19 last year, it could not be uploaded until May 30 due to the volume of pending work.
He noted that he was routinely hearing matters for over two hours after court hours, finalising orders until late night and continuing to work on weekends and holidays to complete backlog.
“As I am conducting the Court at least for 2 – 2 & ½ hours almost every day after regular Court hours, leaving the Chamber after correcting/signing daily orders after 10:30 pm–11:30 pm on almost all the court working days and reading the case papers at my residence up to 02:00 am, reading the case papers in the morning at least for one hour and also attending the Chamber on almost all Saturdays/Sundays/Holidays for completing pending work, uploading of this order is delayed,” the judgment said.
