Supreme Court Laments Increasing Matrimonial Case Load
Imagine the Supreme Court is like the highest referee for the whole country's problems.
Lately, they're seeing lots of cases about divorces and people being let out of jail, which is taking up a lot of their time.
They're worried because if they start helping with every small problem, they won't have time for the big, important cases.
They're like, 'We're supposed to be fixing big issues, not just dealing with every family argument or bail request.'
They're concerned that if they get too involved in these smaller matters, they won't be able to do their main job properly.
Supreme Court expressed concern over increasing matrimonial cases.
The court noted it is increasingly acting as a matrimonial and bail court.
Justices Nath and Mehta made the remark.
The comment was made while considering a plea from an Army officer.
The court may become predominantly matrimonial.
