CJI writes to judges to fill judicial vacancies
The Chief Justice of India, TS Thakur, has written to Chief Justices of 24 High Courts seeking names of deserving candidates for filling 400 judicial vacancies. Against a sanctioned strength of 1044 judges, there are just over 600 judges working in the HCs. However, the SC collegium led by the CJI has already cleared 120 names for judicial appointments.
