'I work 19 hours a day... even sleep is not complete. More than 70 cases have to be read for the next date, the work like the correction in the judgment is different.'. When Justice Gautam Patel of the Bombay High Court started getting up, after hearing 16 cases, an advocate approached him with a request for an urgent case hearing on the next day. After this, the pain of Justice Gautam Patel was visible.

When Justice Gautam Patel's bench was about to rise at 4.30 pm after hearing 16 cases, an advocate mentioned his case, which was listed on the same day. The advocate appealed to Justice Patel to hear the case on the next day citing urgency. But Justice Patel flatly refused the circulation.

Justice Gautam Patel said that there is no question that the matter should be heard the next day. He jokingly said that 'I will take action against you for the violation of my human rights. Justice Gautam Patel pointed out in a few words how the judges have to work much more than the prescribed period and gave his own example.

Giving his own example, Justice Gautam Patel of Bombay High Court told how much work pressure is on the judiciary.

Recently, the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud DY Chandrachud and Supreme Court Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul had also highlighted this issue and told how there is work pressure on the judiciary. The CJI had told how after the court hours, it takes hours and hours to read and research the cases.

At the same time, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul had said that no one sees work except for four-five hours in the court… After court work, we have to study for 7-8 hours, write judgments… Even the break time goes in the same.
