Will SC start working at 9 AM when Justice Lalit becomes CJI?

Justice Uday Umesh Lalit, who is the next Chief Justice of India (CJI) in August, suggested that the Supreme Court benches should start at 9.00 AM. Benches should rise at 11.30 AM for a half-hour break. “Begin at 12 again and finish by 2 PM. “You would get time to do more things in the evening,” said the judge. His remark came on Friday when advocate Mukul Rohatgi lauded the bench for sitting early, Justice Lalit replied that he has always held the view that the court should sit early. “Ideally, we should sit at 9 in the morning. I have always said that if our children can go to school at 7 in the morning, why can’t we come to court at 9?”
