SC reopens after summer break; Aadhaar, Ayodhya, Assam NRC among key cases on docket

The Supreme Court is likely to pronounce several important judgments, including a decision in the Aadhaar case, as it reopens today after a 44-day summer break.

The top court will resume hearing appeals against an eight-year-old verdict of the Allahabad High Court on the Ayodhya dispute and those challenging the practice of polygamy among Muslims.

It is also expected to deliver its verdict on a batch of pleas on who enjoyed supremacy in administering the national capital -- the Lieutenant Governor or the Delhi government.

The apex court has a lengthy list of matters for today with cause list running into hundreds of pages.

A verdict is likely today on a plea challenging the appointment of incumbent Chief Vigilance Commissioner KV Chaudhary and Vigilance Commissioner TM Bhasin. Matters pertaining to air pollution in Delhi-NCR, Assam National Register of Citizens, Vaishno Devi - rehabilitation of mule owners and Manipur encounter killings, among others, are likely to come up for hearing.
