Time taken to argue in constitution bench matters

The amount of time taken by each Counsel to present their case and argue in Court dictates judicial efficiency and management of cases.We at the Supreme Court Observer have analysed four notable cases – the definition of “industry” reference, the Sabarimala Review, the challenge to the abrogation of Article 370, and Plea for Marriage Equality – based on the time taken to argue.We have also analysed the 'definition of industry' case based on the number of words spoken by each judge on the bench to understand who they engaged with, when, and for how long.
