NDTV
The decision was taken because Chief Justice DY Chandrachud is due to retire on November 10 and the bench led by him won't be able to deliver a verdict by then
The bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud will no longer hear petitions challenging the immunity granted to husbands in marital rape cases. The decision was taken because the Chief Justice is due to retire on November 10 and the bench, also comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra, won't be able to complete hearing the submissions and give a verdict before that.
The Chief Justice-led bench adjourned the matter for four weeks. A new bench will hear the matter after that.
During the hearing today, lawyers representing several parties said they would take time to make their submissions in the matter. Senior Advocate Sankarnarayanan said he would take at least a day to complete his submissions. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said he would take a day too. So did Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi. Maninder Singh, Arvind Datar and Indira Jaising are the other lawyers appearing in the matter.
