Rajasthan High Court forms 25 benches during judges’ Jaipur conference

The Story in Brief

All 39 Rajasthan High Court judges will hear cases from Jaipur on Friday while attending a three-day international conference on peace, mediation and the rule of law. The court has formed 25 benches: four larger benches, six division benches and 15 single benches.

Cases linked to the Jodhpur Principal Seat will be heard by video conference through one larger bench, three division benches and four single benches. Jaipur matters will go before three larger, three division and 11 single benches. Listed issues include petitions pending since 1989, priority hearings for vulnerable groups, and eligibility for open prisons for certain convicts.

The Indian Opinion

The arrangement counters the easy claim that a judges’ conference must bring court work to a halt. It also deserves scrutiny beyond the headline: video hearings can preserve access, but they should not become a substitute for regular physical hearings without good reason. The useful measure is practical, not ceremonial: whether Friday’s roster clears cases without adjournments or technical failures, especially the petitions pending since 1989.
