Filling 400 vacancies of judges suitably not easy: CJI
New Delhi: Chief Justice of India Tirath Singh Thakur on Sunday said appointment of 400 judges to fill vacancies in the higher judiciary was a mammoth exercise and not an easy task to perform.
He also said he would embark on this exercise only after the five-judge constitution bench spells out a transparent procedure of appointing judges.
Pointing out that there were 400 vacancies to fill in high courts, Chief Justice Thakur, by way of illustration, noted that there were 100 vacancies in Allahabad High Court and asked: “Do you think it is easy to find 100 judges from the Allahabad High Court bar?”
Even if you “lower the bar” (criteria for the selection of judges), yet merit and suitability can’t be compromised, he observed.
However, the appointment of judges to higher judiciary through collegium route as has been decided by the apex court constitution bench on October 16 last, would take some time as Chief Justice Thakur said: “I will be comfortable if I know how I am expected to work. It will be safer and prudent.”
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
