The eight judges have been assigned to hear commercial matters, criminal appeals, revision applications and summary suits at the Mazgaon branch.
The transfer of judges to the Mazgaon branch was notified on December 21, 2023. On the same date, the Bombay City Civil and Sessions Court Bar Association initiated a two-day hunger strike (on December 21 and December 22) as a mark of protest against the move.
The Bar association has raised concerns that the transfer of cases to the new courts would be inconvenient not just for the lawyers, but also for the litigants as there is no adequate transport facility to the Mazgaon branch.
