 Vacancies and Backlogs Impacting the Judiciary

  • As of January 2025, 371 of 1,122 posts across India's High Courts remain vacant, with the Allahabad High Court functioning at 50% capacity.

  • The backlog of 60 lakh cases across all High Courts is eroding public faith in the judicial system.

  • Vacancies and slow appointment processes have worsened the backlog, increasing the workload for judges and affecting case handling quality.

Constitutional Provisions and Their Potential

  • Article 124(3)(c) and Article 217(2)(c) allow for the appointment of distinguished jurists to the Supreme Court and High Courts, but these provisions have not been utilized.

  • Appointing distinguished jurists could address the vacancy crisis and enrich the judiciary with academic expertise.

  • International jurisdictions that appoint jurists have benefitted, suggesting this could be a game changer for India’s judiciary.

Role of Academia in Strengthening the Judiciary

  • Including academics can bring valuable research and critical thinking to the bench, especially for complex socio-legal cases.

  • Challenges include the lack of courtroom experience and resistance within the judiciary, but training can overcome these barriers.

  • Academic involvement could provide a fresh perspective, strengthening judicial decision-making and bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Solutions and the Way Forward

  • The government must expedite Collegium recommendations to fill vacancies in a timely manner.

  • Reintroducing Article 217(2)(c) to appoint jurists to the High Courts would help address vacancies and bring academic expertise into the judiciary.

  • Tapping into the academic sector can make the judicial system more dynamic, robust, and capable of tackling complex modern legal issues.
