The Supreme Court of India is reopening after a 42-day summer break and will address several important issues including a petition related to the strife in Manipur and a plea for a commission to inquire into "extra judicial deaths." During the break, vacation benches heard over 2,000 cases and disposed of over 700. Changes in the composition of the collegium have taken place due to the retirement of senior judges, and the court will focus on filling up vacancies.
