After getting feedback from all quarters of the legal fraternity, Chief Justice of India UU Lalit on Tuesday convened a full court meeting to take a call on the current system of listing of cases and how it can be improved for faster disposal of matters.

According to sources familiar with the development, the new case listing system introduced after CJI Lalit took over was one of the key agendas among other issues pertaining to the administrative side of the Supreme Court.

The full court meeting was scheduled on Tuesday as part of the last quarter meeting to discuss fund allocation and expansion of the lawyers' chambers and other matters, including approving the list of holidays for the next year.

The controversy over the listing of cases arose after a bench headed by Justice SK Kaul had remarked that the new system does not give adequate time to take up matters fixed for hearing.

The bench, also comprising Justice Abhay Oka, said that many cases cannot be taken up as there are several matters within the span of the 'Afternoon' session.

Soon after, the Chief Justice clarified that all judges were on the same page as far as listing of the cases is concerned.

"It is true that a new style of listing is naturally bound to have some problems, but whatever has been reported is not the correct situation. All of the judges are completely on the same page," CJI Lalit said.

He further said that it was because of the new listing system that "We have been able to dispose of more than 5,200 matters as against fresh filing, which was just about 1,135 matters. This is why we have been able to bring down the arrears by such a margin, which is a good beginning."

The current pendency in the Supreme Court stands at 70,000 cases.
