In a recent address, Chief Justice NV Ramana raised concerns over judges' security post-retirement.
Chief Justice of India NV Ramana while addressing Justice S.B. Sinha Memorial Inaugural Lecture in Jharkhand's capital Ranchi on Saturday said he was keen on joining active politics.
"I was keen on joining active politics, but destiny desired otherwise. The decision to give up something for which I had worked so hard, was not easy at all," said CJI Ramana.
He asserted that the non-filling up of judicial vacancies and not improving the judicial infrastructure was the main reason for the pendency of cases in the country. He also lamented over the false narratives about the lives of judges.
"On multiple occasions, I have highlighted the issues leading to the tendencies. I have been strongly advocating the need to revamp the infrastructure - both physical and personal to enable the judges to function to their full potential."
