India's new chief justice Justice Sanjiv Khanna took over the reins on November 11 following the superannuation of Justice D Y Chandrachud.
Touted as a stickler for effective execution, he introduced significant reforms to how cases are listed in the Supreme Court to reduce the backlog of new cases. He abolished the long-standing practice of oral mentioning matters for urgent listing.
The year also witnessed a rise in legal disputes over places of worship in the country, many of which reached the Supreme Court. Notable cases include Gyanvapi, Mathura, Bhojshala and Sambhal, highlighting a community's claims to rights of worship.
The apex court, which on January 16 stayed the Allahabad High Court order allowing survey at Shahi Idgah mosque at Mathura in the Krishna Janambhoomi temple dispute, passed a significant order on December 12 prohibiting all the courts in the country from entertaining or passing any effective interim or final orders in such matters.
