Supreme Court Reforms Oral Mentioning Process

The Supreme Court of India has made some big changes to how cases are listed for hearing.

Before, lawyers could ask for their cases to be heard quickly just by speaking up in court, which sometimes favored those who were more senior or well-connected.

Now, the court has new rules to make sure that cases are listed fairly based on how urgent they are, not who the lawyer is.

Cases that need quick attention, like those involving someone's freedom or an upcoming demolition, will be listed automatically within two days.

Other cases can be mentioned using a special form, and only certain types of cases can be mentioned at all.

This change is meant to make the court more fair and efficient, so that everyone has an equal chance to have their case heard quickly if it's really important.
