CJI Surya Kant Vows Reforms and Probe into Supreme Court Registry Functioning

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has vowed to reform the Supreme Court registry after discovering that similar cases, including petitions challenging the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act's validity, were listed before different benches despite prior dismissals. He criticized registry officials for acting as permanent fixtures, contrasting with the transient tenure of judges, and announced a deeper probe into the registry's functioning. The court has scheduled further hearings and emphasized the need for administrative reforms before the CJI's tenure ends.
