The Gujarat High Court is taking steps to reduce its backlog. It will hold special court sessions on Saturdays until October. These sessions will focus on criminal appeals that are over ten years old. Twelve special benches will be formed for this purpose. This initiative supplements the existing Wednesday hearings dedicated to old cases.
Former Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani, tragically among the victims of the Air India flight AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad, had explored a Boeing 737 cockpit during a university visit just two months prior. He shared photos of the visit on Instagram, expressing enthusiasm for aviation students. Rupani’s funeral was held with full state honors in Rajkot.
