    For second consecutive day, a division bench of the Bombay High Court comprising Justices SS Shinde and MN Jadhav sat till late to clear its board.

    The bench sat till 8.30 pm on Friday, hearing various criminal cases. It heard over 215 out of the 265 cases listed before it. Yesterday, the bench heard 190 cases.

    The cases it heard on Friday included letters sent by prison inmates seeking appointment of advocates, quashing by consent and other petitions for urgent relief.

    Normal working hours for judges at the Bombay High Court is from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
    Who is Justice Shinde?
    Justice Shinde, the senior judge on the bench and the third most senior judge after the Chief Justice, is one of those names which have been recommended by the Supreme Court collegium for elevation as a Chief Justice.
    61-year-old Justice Shinde's name has been recommended as a Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. He has less than two months of tenure left as a High Court judge.
    Justice Shinde has been a judge of the Bombay High Court since March 17, 2008 and Justice Jadhav, since August 23, 2019.
    Justice Shinde has presided over various high profile cases in the recent past including the abetment to suicide case against Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami, Bhima Koregaon-Elgar Parishad case, cases against former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and actress Kangana Ranaut.
    Judges sitting till very late to complete the board for that day or at least hear as many matters as possible is not so uncommon for the Bombay High Court.
    A few years back, Justice SJ Kathawalla hit the headlines when he sat till 3.30am to complete the list of cases before him on the last day before the summer vacations for the High Court were to start. He heard 122 cases during that sitting which went way beyond the regular sitting of 5pm back then. He retired from the Bombay High Court recently.
