All-India judicial Services Examination – Good Move

Indian judiciary needs strengthening to tackle enormous backlog of cases. In order to make some meaningful progress in the country’s judicial system, the Chief Justice of India is proposing All-India Services Examination in the lines of civil services examination. A very good move indeed if he succeeds.

According to the Chief Justice, this will augment the shortage of judges at all levels which is causing delay in dispensing justice and to weed out backlog of cases and corruption in judiciary.

From a commoners’ point of view, justice delayed is justice denied, which result in citizens taking law into their own hands or local “goonda” elements dispensing justice-a “quick-fix”-for a price.
