&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Continuing to express concern over low judge-population ratio in the country, Chief Justice of India TS Thakur on Sunday said access to justice was a fundamental right and governments cannot afford to deny it to the people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhubaneswar: &lt;/em&gt;A FORTNIGHT after his impassioned appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over shortage of judges, Chief Justice of India T S Thakur on Sunday said courts in the country now require more than 70,000 judges to clear the pending cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;While we (judiciary) remain keen to ensure that judges&amp;rsquo; appointments are made quickly, the machinery involved with the appointment of judges continues to grind very slowly. The confidence of people on the judiciary has, over the years, multiplied. Over three crore cases are pending in various courts across the country ,&amp;rdquo; said CJI Thakur while speaking on the opening day of the centennial celebration of the Odisha High Court at Cuttack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said around 170 proposals for appointment of high court judges were now pending with the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Access to justice is a fundamental right and the government cannot afford to deny the people their fundamental right,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CJI Thakur said shortage of judges was one of the formidable challenges faced now. Of some 900 sanctioned posts of judges in different high courts of the country, there are over 450 vacancies, which need to be filled up immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said while the Law Commission of India in 1987 had suggested having 44,000 judges to effectively tackle the then number of pending cases, the country today has only 18,000 judges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last month, at a function in Delhi, the CJI had lamented that the judiciary had been made the scapegoat for the mounting pendency of cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said Odisha has established 30 first class judicial magistrate courts to ensure speedy trial of offences against women. Another 26 first class additional courts of judicial magistrate have been set up in remote areas of the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least 10 judges of the Supreme Court and judges of Calcutta, Patna and Jharkhand HCs are participating in the week-long centennial celebrations, which will include seminars, conferences and cultural programmes.&lt;br /&gt;

The confidence of people on the judiciary has, over the years, multiplied. Over three crore cases are pending in various courts across the country ,&amp;rdquo; said CJI Thakur while speaking on the opening day of the centennial celebration of the Odisha High Court at Cuttack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said around 170 proposals for appointment of high court judges were now pending with the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Access to justice is a fundamental right and the government cannot afford to deny the people their fundamental right,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CJI Thakur said shortage of judges was one of the formidable challenges faced now. Of some 900 sanctioned posts of judges in different high courts of the country, there are over 450 vacancies, which need to be filled up immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said while the Law Commission of India in 1987 had suggested having 44,000 judges to effectively tackle the then number of pending cases, the country today has only 18,000 judges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last month, at a function in Delhi, the CJI had lamented that the judiciary had been made the scapegoat for the mounting pendency of cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said Odisha has established 30 first class judicial magistrate courts to ensure speedy trial of offences against women. Another 26 first class additional courts of judicial magistrate have been set up in remote areas of the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least 10 judges of the Supreme Court and judges of Calcutta, Patna and Jharkhand HCs are participating in the week-long centennial celebrations, which will include seminars, conferences and cultural programmes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Continuing to express concern over low judge-population ratio in the country, Chief Justice of India TS Thakur on Sunday said access to justice was a fundamental right and governments cannot afford to deny it to the people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bhubaneswar: &lt;/em&gt;A FORTNIGHT after his impassioned appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over shortage of judges, Chief Justice of India T S Thakur on Sunday said courts in the country now require more than 70,000 judges to clear the pending cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;While we (judiciary) remain keen to ensure that judges&amp;rsquo; appointments are made quickly, the machinery involved with the appointment of judges continues to grind very slowly. The confidence of people on the judiciary has, over the years, multiplied. Over three crore cases are pending in various courts across the country ,&amp;rdquo; said CJI Thakur while speaking on the opening day of the centennial celebration of the Odisha High Court at Cuttack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said around 170 proposals for appointment of high court judges were now pending with the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Access to justice is a fundamental right and the government cannot afford to deny the people their fundamental right,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CJI Thakur said shortage of judges was one of the formidable challenges faced now. Of some 900 sanctioned posts of judges in different high courts of the country, there are over 450 vacancies, which need to be filled up immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said while the Law Commission of India in 1987 had suggested having 44,000 judges to effectively tackle the then number of pending cases, the country today has only 18,000 judges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last month, at a function in Delhi, the CJI had lamented that the judiciary had been made the scapegoat for the mounting pendency of cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said Odisha has established 30 first class judicial magistrate courts to ensure speedy trial of offences against women. Another 26 first class additional courts of judicial magistrate have been set up in remote areas of the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least 10 judges of the Supreme Court and judges of Calcutta, Patna and Jharkhand HCs are participating in the week-long centennial celebrations, which will include seminars, conferences and cultural programmes.&lt;br /&gt;

We require more than 70,000 judges to clear pending cases: CJI TS Thakur -Debabrata Mohanty

-The Indian Express Continuing to express concern over low judge-population ratio in the country, Chief Justice of India TS Thakur on Sunday said access to justice was a fundamental right and governments cannot afford to deny it to the people. Bhubaneswar: A FORTNIGHT after his impassioned appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over shortage of judges, Chief Justice of India T S Thakur on Sunday said courts in the country now require more than 70,000 judges to clear the pending cases. “While we (judiciary) remain keen to ensure that judges’ appointments are made quickly, the machinery involved with the appointment of judges continues to grind very slowly. The confidence of people on the judiciary has, over the years, multiplied. Over three crore cases are pending in various courts across the country ,” said CJI Thakur while speaking on the opening day of the centennial celebration of the Odisha High Court at Cuttack. He said around 170 proposals for appointment of high court judges were now pending with the government. “Access to justice is a fundamental right and the government cannot afford to deny the people their fundamental right,” he said. CJI Thakur said shortage of judges was one of the formidable challenges faced now. Of some 900 sanctioned posts of judges in different high courts of the country, there are over 450 vacancies, which need to be filled up immediately. He said while the Law Commission of India in 1987 had suggested having 44,000 judges to effectively tackle the then number of pending cases, the country today has only 18,000 judges. Last month, at a function in Delhi, the CJI had lamented that the judiciary had been made the scapegoat for the mounting pendency of cases.
