CJI Thakur's outburst makes a valid point, but judiciary must also hold a mirror to itself
That the Chief Justice of India would be on the verge of tears in public does make for good optics. For example, Kerala, with a literacy rate of more than 90%, has some 28 new cases per 1,000 people, as against some four cases per 1,000 in Jharkhand, which has a literacy rate of around 53%.” The consequences of an overburdened, overworked judiciary need not be overstated. This is what The Indian Express has to say about the matter: “However, the judiciary, too, has not given sufficient attention to the small systemic interventions that could disproportionately increase the efficiency of justice delivery. The chief justice may also consider communicating with the government, which is a party in a large number of cases. Simplification of tax law, for instance, would sharply reduce the volume of litigation in the higher courts.” It’s time both sides – the executive and the judiciary - came together to sort out chronic problems with the judiciary.
