Retired HC judges
‘embarrassed’ to sit as junior ad hoc judges to clear pendency: CJI.. 19 dec
2025
Extract :
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant revealed on Thursday
that retired High Court judges are
reluctant to return to the Bench as ad hoc judges to clear the massive pendency
of criminal cases for a simple reason: they are “embarrassed” to sit as junior
judges alongside younger colleagues.
High Courts across the country are burdened by mounting arrears,
particularly in criminal cases. Data from the National Judicial Data Grid shows
that 18,98,833 criminal cases are pending in the 25 High Courts. Of these,
68.27% or 12,96,374 cases have been pending for over a year. Against a
sanctioned strength of 1,122 judges, there are 298 vacancies in the High Courts
as of December 15.
My Take :
>
Justice
delayed is Justice Denied ..

“ And as far as finding 10,000 Judges to conduct “ Online Trials “ from the comfort of
their
homes ( and without imposing any “
Infrastructure Burden “ on the State –
except
providing them with a fast broadband connection ) , I
suggest that we rope in
retired
judges on a “ Per Case Retainer “ basis ( paid into their Jan Dhan accounts )
There
must be a “ Bonus cum
Penalty “ formula to govern the payments to the Judges ,
depending
upon the “ Actual Time “ taken to dispose off a given case
as against the “
Target Time “ ( to be computed by Artificial
Intelligent Software , based on historical
data
being continuously compiled for all the cases , once the portal gets launched )
I
urge Chief Justice Hon Deepak Misraji to treat this email as a PIL and “ direct “ the
NDA
government to initiate action on this suggestion ( I cannot afford a lawyer ! )
Your " Activism " in this matter
will go a long way to restore the faith of the ordinary citizens in the
judiciary !
