Govt inactive in increasing judges' numbers: CJI
Chief Justice of India TS Thakur on Sunday claimed the government was 'inactive' in increasing the number of judges to handle the "avalanche" of litigations. He said, "nothing has moved" since the Law Commission in 1987 recommended increasing the number of judges, from ten judges per ten lakh people to 50. Presently there are 15 judges per ten lakh people.
