The Supreme Court on March 6, 2025, expressed disapproval of long delays in matters concerning personal liberty. A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Augustine George Masih intervened after learning that the Punjab and Haryana High Court had scheduled a hearing for temporary bail on medical grounds, regarding a two-year-old’s urgent surgery, two months after the request. The petitioner’s counsel argued for an earlier hearing, prompting the bench to emphasize that liberty cases should not be delayed for such extended periods, allowing the petitioner to seek an expedited hearing from the high court.
