SC rejects plea for early disposal of execution petition in Bombay HC, says judges 'overburdened'

The Supreme Court has rejected a plea for a time-bound decision on an execution petition in the Bombay High Court, citing the heavy workload of judges. With only 64 judges against the sanctioned strength of 92, the court emphasized the impracticality of issuing such directives. The petitioner may request the high court for a quicker hearing.
