Adani group’s cases listed out of turn in SC: Advocate Dushyant Dave

Senior advocate Dushyant Dave has written to Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice Ranjan Gogoi alleging that matters related to the Adani group of companies had been listed out of turn for hearing during summer vacations and disposed of by the vacation benches of the Supreme Court in contravention of court practices.

Listing out two such cases, Dave stated that the Bench of Justice Arun Mishra and Justice M R Shah heard one such case on May 21 without the matter having been ordered to be listed during the summer vacations by any regular bench or without there being any urgency in the matter whatsoever.

In contravention to the procedures, the case was present in the list of cases to be heard during vacations, with an unusual remark in May, Dave has alleged. “It is unclear if the matter falls within guidelines and norms approved by the CJI.
