DELHI BAR ASSOCAITION vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of judicial backlog in Delhi, emphasizing the need for the division of Delhi into smaller judicial districts to enhance the efficiency of the judicial 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 questioned by the Delhi Bar Association, which argued it was issued without legislative deliberation, thus necessitating a review of the procedural propriety involved in its issuance.
