Enough vacancies but not enough judges; where is justice going to come from: Ex-SC Judge Madan Lokur
NEW DELHI: (Apr 15) Former Supreme Court judge Justice Madan B Lokur on Tuesday said there were sufficient vacancies for judges but not enough judges actually in the posts, resulting in denial of justice.
"You may have enough vacancies, but you don't have enough judges. So where is justice going to come from?" he said during the release of the 2025 India Justice Report (IJR), which ranks states on the delivery of justice in the country.
Referring to the report, the former judge said that the vacancies across district courts in the country were around 33 per cent while in the high courts, the figures stood at around 21 per cent.
