A new roster system for allocation of cases to judges will be adopted by the Supreme Court, reports Mint. All public interest litigations (PILs) will be heard by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) directly, according to a notice on the apex court’s website.
The new roster system will come into effect on 5 February 2018.
The move comes in after four sitting judges, in an unprecedented move, attacked the incumbent CJI Justice Dipak Misra in a press conference last month, accusing him of arbitrarily allotting cases.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
