Summary: On August 19, 2025, Judge M. M. Sathaye announced that several cases in the Bombay High Court were postponed due to a shortened work schedule. This means some matters will now be heard on new dates.

Shortened Court Hours

On August 19, 2025, Judge M. M. Sathaye announced that the Bombay High Court would only work until 12:30 PM. This decision affected several cases that were supposed to be heard that day.

"Because of today's notice limiting the court work until 12:30 PM, the cases listed below could not be heard."

Cases Pushed to September

Due to the reduced hours, cases numbered 46 to 62 on the court schedule were not addressed. These cases will now be heard on September 9, 2025. They are part of the "ABA matters" category, which usually involves requests for anticipatory bail.

Temporary Protection Continues

For those cases that were postponed, any existing temporary protection remains in place until the new hearing date.

"Temporary protection, if any, will continue until the next date."

New Dates and Categories

The cases have been rescheduled and categorized for clarity. This ensures that everyone involved knows when to return to court and under which category their case falls.

This decision was officially recorded and signed by Anant Krishna Naik, as noted in the court document.

These changes show how courts sometimes need to adjust their schedules to ensure that justice is served while managing time effectively.
