The court recommends fixed tenure of two or more years for ad-hoc judges if they are appointed in high courts to reduce the backlog of pending cases.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said some of the allegations made against judges are so “shockingly false” that if there had been no security of tenure, they could have been easily “knocked out”. The top court favoured fixed tenure of two or more years for ad-hoc judges if they are appointed in high courts to reduce the backlog of pending cases. A Special Bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde said, “Position of judge has to be made secure. I tell you, we have seen allegations against judges which are shockingly false. Yes, some of them are shockingly false. You can easily knock out a judge if there is no security. There has to be security of tenure for ad-hoc judges”.More Related News
