The Big Picture - Strengthening Judicial Apparatus

Hello and welcome to Rajya Sabha Tv… You’re watching the big picture with me Frank Rausan Pereira. Expressing concern over pendency of cases, Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi on Sunday said that more than two lakh cases are in courts for 25 years, while over 1,000 cases have not been disposed of even after five decades. Speaking at a public function, Gogoi said though the judiciary faces criticism for the huge number of pending cases, it is not entirely responsible for the delay as the executive also has some responsibility in the justice delivery mechanism. He also expressed hope that the Centre will accept his proposal to raise the retirement age of high court judges to 65 years from the current 62. Meanwhile the Lok Sabha on Monday gave its nod to a bill to increase the strength of Supreme Court judges from the present 30 to 33. As of now, the Supreme Court has a sanctioned strength of 30 judges, plus the chief justice of India which makes it 31 judges. On this edition of The Big Picture we will analyse what needs to be done to strengthen our judicial apparatus.
