The Morelos Supreme Court prioritizes the approval of licenses and permits with pay for magistrates.

MORELOS (apro) .- The Plenary Session of the Superior Court of Justice (TSJ) of Morelos prioritized the approval of paid leave and vacation permits for judges, setting aside other relevant matters. All decisions were ratified by a majority.

This occurred amid questions about the lack of transparency and delays in the administration of justice in the state.

In the regular session held on Wednesday, October 15, 19 judges participated—with Judge María del Carmen Aquino Celis participating virtually—and the absence of Nancy Giovanna Montero Mercado was justified, declaring a legal quorum in accordance with Article 3 of Decree 341, published in Tierra y Libertad.

The absence of Judge Eduardo Horacio López Castro was also justified for health reasons.

The Plenary modified the agenda to include three new requests for paid leave:

• Javier Mújica Díaz, from November 14 to 26, 2025.
• Cecilia Verónica López González, from November 21 to 24, 2025.
• Miriam Yannet Uribe Peralta, to be absent from duty at the Second Judicial Circuit Court in Jojutla from December 15 to 21, 2025, corresponding to the second vacation period of the year.

All three applications were approved unanimously or by a qualified majority, with no dissenting votes.

As part of the agreements, internal substitutes were designated to temporarily cover the following functions:

Judge María Luisa Sánchez Osorio will replace Javier Mújica Díaz.

Judge José Anuar González Cianci Pérez will temporarily assume the duties of Cecilia Verónica López González and Miriam Yannet Uribe Peralta during their respective periods of absence.

The minutes also document that most of the agenda items, including those related to the approval of previous minutes and internal resolutions, were voted on with between 17 and 19 votes in favor and without significant opposition.

During the extraordinary session, the Plenary addressed a conflict of jurisdiction arising from the special procedure for declaring beneficiaries initiated by Agrippina Bernal García, between the Administrative Court of Justice and the State Court of Conciliation and Arbitration.

The case was referred to the Supreme Court of Justice after the Second Collegiate Labor Court declared itself incompetent to resolve it.

Everything was approved without opposition, as could be confirmed in the minutes of the sessions.

In the midst of a crisis of confidence in the judiciary, the Supreme Court's plenary session concluded its session by ratifying licenses, permits, and internal substitutions, leaving aside other matters relevant to the administration of justice in the state.
