Justice Madhav Jamdar of the Bombay High Court has clarified that an excessive workload was the reason for the delayed online upload of a judgment he delivered in open court on December 19, 2024. The 85-page verdict, although announced in court, was only uploaded to the official website on May 30, 2025, raising concerns among litigants and prompting clarification from the judge.
In a written statement, Justice Jamdar explained that his daily work schedule starts early in the morning and often extends past 11:30 PM in chambers, with some days stretching until 2:00 AM. He also mentioned that he frequently works through weekends and holidays to complete judicial documentation and meet deadlines. The sheer volume of work and extended hours made it difficult to upload the decision on time.
This disclosure followed a party in the case raising questions about the delay in publishing the judgment. Justice Jamdar took the opportunity to present an honest account of the pressures faced by the judiciary, highlighting how human limitations and workload affect the timeliness of judicial documentation. His transparency shed light on the challenges judges face behind the scenes and underlined the need for understanding and perhaps structural support within the judicial system.
The situation highlights the broader issue of backlogs and time-bound processes in India’s legal system, particularly in high courts with a heavy caseload. Justice Jamdar’s case underscores how delays can occur even with diligent efforts, emphasizing the importance of support systems for timely judicial functioning. Fella News will continue to monitor and report updates related to this incident and broader developments within India’s judiciary.
