It rarely considers the quality of the administration of the courts system, particularly the back-end functions, processes and filling up of judicial staff posts in the lower courts. Former judge Kiran Palakurthi, who took voluntary retirement and trained other judges, said, “Judicial work is not like clerical work in other government offices. Lawyer Puligari Goverdhan Reddy says inadequate attention is given to enhancing administrative functions, particularly back-end functions vital for the efficient performance of courts. Retired judge Kiran Palakurthi felt that this one small step of filling up vacancies and sanctioning of new posts according to need would save weeks or months in disposing of cases.
