Even the principle seat at Bombay had this. A single judge once in a while is bound to make an error!! So basically now to challenge this Single Judge's order/judgment one has to approach the Supreme Court! Now how many people have the resources for this. Sure, this will cut down the litigation, but lawyers will be affected the most!
