SC judges joke about dharna for foot overbridge; lawyers flag 95k pending cases
With a pendency of 95,000 case in SC, can litigants do dharna for speedy justice, ask lawyers
Supreme Court judges from the Delhi High Court threatened to stage a sit-in dharna outside the main gate of the court if the government did not build a foot overbridge and pedestrian paths by November 25.
