A judge can't ignore ground realities, says CJI

The Supreme Court has issued a notification on the benches that will function during the summer vacation from May 26 to July 13. The CJI has also decided that he would conduct court proceedings from May 26 to June 1. The regular functioning of the court will resume from July 14. Calling the summer vacation as "partial court working days", the apex court said that two to five vacation benches will hold sittings during the period.
