No deliberate delay in judicial appointments: Rijiju
The Supreme Court collegium should give preference to women, backward classes (BCs), Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) while recommending names for appointment of judges, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju told the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
He pointed out that the court, for the first time, had four women judges out of the total sanctioned strength of 34 judges. And in the High Courts, 83 women were judges against the sanctioned strength of 1,098.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
