Supreme Court Orders Monthly Monitoring of Reserved Judgments Across High Courts

The Supreme Court of India has expressed serious concern over the prolonged delays by High Courts in delivering reserved judgments, noting cases where verdicts have been delayed for years after hearings concluded. To address this issue, the Supreme Court has ordered strict monthly monitoring of reserved judgments to ensure timely justice. In the United States, President Donald Trump has publicly criticized the Senate Judiciary Committee's 'blue slip' tradition, which allows senators to block judicial nominees from their states, calling it unconstitutional and announcing plans to sue over the practice. Trump has urged GOP leaders to push his judicial nominees through despite Democratic opposition, emphasizing his constitutional right to appoint judges and U.S. attorneys. Meanwhile, the Indian Supreme Court collegium has recommended the elevation of Justices Alok Aradhe and Vipul Manubhai Pancholi to strengthen the court's full sanctioned strength, with Justice Pancholi positioned as a future Chief Justice of India. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court continues to play a crucial role in adjudicating challenges to President Trump's executive orders on immigration, military policies, and federal workforce restructuring, shaping the boundaries of presidential authority.
