Time to think of national-level judicial recruitment: CJI D Y Chandrachud
NEW DELHI: Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Sunday batted for a national-level recruitment process for judicial services, saying the time has come to move beyond the "narrow walls of regionalism and state-centred selections".
Speaking at the valedictory ceremony of the 'National Conference of the District Judiciary', the CJI was of the view that attracting skilled personnel was key to tackling the high pendency of cases and stressed the need to standardise the recruitment calendar across the country to ensure that the vacancies are filled up timely.
"Our current national average disposal rate stands at 95 per cent. Despite progress, tackling pending cases remains a challenge. Increasing our disposal-to-filing ratio hinges on attracting skilled personnel.
