NEW DELHI: In the last 365 days, the Delhi high court took up critical cases pertaining but not limited to the Capital's politics, infrastructure and rights of women and courtrooms witnessed landmark judgments and significant rulings with far-reaching implications.

The court formulated committees to assess the medical infrastructure of state-run hospitals and to reconsider Delhi's financial, physical and administrative infrastructure, in light of the growing population.

It also passed a series of directives aimed at streamlining the city's drainage system, addressing encroachment of Yamuna floodplains, waste management in the river, and prioritising the health and welfare of animals and citizens by ordering relocation of animal dairies at Bhalswa and Ghazipur.
