A bench also comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra was hearing a case arising out of arbitration proceedings, when it made the said oral observation.
“What is a matter of concern is judges reserving matters for over 10 months without judgment. I wrote to all the High Courts. After the letter, I see many judges just de-reserving matters and listing them as part-heard. Honestly ,after that long, the oral arguments do not matter and judges forget,” the CJI remarked.
