The Delhi High Court will re-open on Wednesday after its month-long summer vacation.
The high court, which continued to hold vacation benches during the summer break in June, is expected to take up several significant cases in July after its re-opening.
CBI's petition against a trial court order discharging former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia, former MLA Durgesh Pathak and all other accused persons in the liquor policy case is scheduled to be taken up on July 16.
The case was last heard by Justice Manoj Jain in May, when hearing was deferred to await the presence of counsel on behalf of the unrepresented AAP leaders, who had earlier boycotted the hearing before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma.
A division bench of the high court is scheduled to take up its suo motu contempt case against Kejriwal and others for their "vilifying" social media posts against Justice Sharma in relation on August 4.
Enforcement Directorate's plea against Kejriwal's acquittal in two separate cases lodged against him for not appearing before the agency despite summonses issued in the excise policy case will also be listed on July 22.
The high court will also hear Indian Polo Association's petition against a sessions court's court refusing to stay the May 20 order evicting it from the 15.20-acre Jaipur Polo Ground, NSUI's PIL seeking independent inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the on-screen marking system for Class 12 exam as well as NIA's appeal seeking death penalty for separatist leader Yasin Malik in a terror-funding case in July.
A new roster for high court judges will come into force from July 1.
While a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia will continue to hear PIL matters, Justice Manoj Jain will take up criminal cases relating to sitting/former MPs/MLAs.
The vacation benches of the high court also heard several significant cases during the summer vacation this month.
A vacation bench of Justice Tejas Karia on June 19 upheld the government's decision to temporarily restrict access to Telegram ahead of the crucial NEET-UG retest on June 21.
Earlier, a vacation bench of justices Neena Bansal Krishna and Madhu Jain directed social media platforms to remove certain allegedly contemptuous content targeting a sitting judge in relation to the collapse of a multi-storey building in Saidulajab.
On June 29, a vacation bench of Justice Vinod Kumar set aside the bail granted to a 57-year-old private school caretaker accused of raping a three-year-old girl on the premises in west Delhi's Janakpuri area, and asked him to surrender on July 1.
