Supreme Court of India sought Union response on vacancies in Armed Forces Tribunal. Bench of Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi sought R Venkataramani assistance, listing hearing.
Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal highlighted a significant delay in filling nearly 39% of high court vacancies in India, with 357 judges’ positions vacant as of July 19. The government has only received 219 recommendations from high court collegiums for appointments. Delays in the judicial appointment process impact the efficiency of the system, requiring collaboration between government and collegiums for timely appointments.
