Delhi Bar Assocaition vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of judicial backlog in Delhi, emphasizing the need for the division of Delhi into smaller judicial districts to improve the efficiency of the justice system. The Court referred to Section 19 of the Punjab Courts Act, 1918, which was invoked by the Delhi Government to issue a notification for this division. The Court held that the notification's validity was questionable as it was issued without deliberation by the Legislative Assembly of Delhi, thereby necessitating further examination of the procedural propriety involved.
