Supreme Court to Hear Thousands of Matters During Summer Break
The Supreme Court, which is like the highest court in the country, is going to keep working a little bit during its summer break.
They'll be looking at about 40,000 different cases!
Some of the cases are about important things like protecting forests and wetlands.
During the summer break, the court will have a "partial working" period.
This means some judges will still be working to hear cases.
They will have different groups of judges working each week, so everyone gets a chance to take a break.
The judges who make big decisions for the court, like the Chief Justice, will be in charge for the first week.
The Supreme Court will address almost 40,000 matters during its summer holiday period.
