Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana urged the Chief Justices of High Courts to extend their “whole-hearted cooperation” and speed up the process of recommending names to fill up judicial vacancies in their High Courts.
“I request the Chief Justices of High Courts, which are still having number of vacancies, to forward the names for elevation at the earliest,” he said at the 39th Chief Justices’ Conference held at the Supreme Court on Friday.
The CJI said that last year saw High Courts’ collegiums act quickly to recommend names, following which 126 judicial vacancies in High Courts could be filled up within just a year.
