Sometimes, even the court needs a break! On August 19, 2025, the High Court of Judicature at Bombay had to adjust its schedule. Here's what happened.
The court's working hours were limited to just 12:30 PM on this day. This meant that several cases couldn't be heard as planned. Judge M. M. Sathaye was in charge to make sure everything was in order.
"Because of today's notice limiting the court work to 12:30 PM only, the cases listed could not be heard."
The cases that didn't get heard were rescheduled. Specifically, cases numbered 46 to 62 on the list were moved to September 9, 2025. These were about anticipatory bail, which is a request to avoid arrest.
For those involved in these cases, there's a bit of good news. Any temporary protection that was in place will continue until the next court date. This means any temporary relief granted stays effective.
"Temporary protection, if any, will continue until the next date."
Although it might be disappointing for those waiting for their case to be heard, the court has ensured that protections remain in place. Judge M. M. Sathaye made sure everything was handled smoothly, even with the time crunch.
