The Supreme Court of India has issued a circular stating that any advocate who is seeking relief in urgent matters, either on court holidays or after court hours, can approach a notified officer of the Registry, and if required, a bench will be constituted.
Such an officer, who shall be the Vacation Officer, would screen the papers, seek directions from the Competent Authority and thereafter inform the advocate concerned about the directions.
CJI DY Chandrachud had said today morning stating that there will be no regular benches for the Supreme Court during the winter break, which starts from tomorrow. However, advocates can seek listing of urgent matters by mentioning before the vacation officer.
The Court will reopen on January 2, 2023.
