Recent Supreme Court Proceedings Arising from Delhi
Recent cases demonstrate the varied nature of litigation moving from Delhi to the Supreme Court.
In April 2026, the Supreme Court decided Pawan Garg & Ors. v. South Delhi Municipal Corporation, a civil appeal arising from an SLP challenging a judgment of the Delhi High Court. The matter concerned proceedings involving the municipal corporation and shows how disputes involving public authorities and municipal decisions can move through the High Court and then reach the Supreme Court.
In another May 2026 proceeding, the Supreme Court granted leave in Rajesh @ Golu v. State (NCT of Delhi), an SLP arising from a Delhi High Court bail order. The Court allowed the appeal, underscoring the Supreme Court’s role in reviewing appropriate criminal orders passed by the Delhi High Court.
A further example is Bakshish Ahmad v. Union of India & Anr., decided in June 2026. The appeal arose from an SLP challenging a Delhi High Court judgment and subsequent review order. The Supreme Court granted leave and considered the challenge in its civil appellate jurisdiction.
These matters reflect the diverse nature of civil, criminal, municipal, administrative, and constitutional litigation that may originate in Delhi and proceed to the Supreme Court.
