Govt rejects CJI's claim of need for 40K more judges -Amit Anand Choudhary

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Wednesday virtually rejected Chief Justice of India TS Thakur's claim that 40,000 more judges were needed to obliterate over three crore pending cases by saying that his estimates were not backed by any scientific research or data.

Referring to 1987 Law Commission report suggesting increase in judges' strength, the CJI had on May 8 said the judiciary needed an additional 40,000 Judges to erase the mounting pendency. Law minister V Sadananda Gowda, however, said the Commission's report was based just on the opinion of experts.

"Law Commission's report of 1987 was based on opinion of experts and general public. No scientific data is available till now, therefore we cannot say much about it," he said.
