The Supreme Court has formed a special bench to hear pending Motor Accident Claim Tribunal cases and Criminal Appeals.

The bench, comprising Justices K Vinod Chandran and NV Anjaria, will convene every Monday and Friday at 2:00 PM, starting 1 August 2025. 

According to a notice issued on July 29, the initiative aims to expedite long-pending matters.
