Will our children and grand children too will be having this proud joy or will they say “Once upon a time India was worlds largest Democratically Ruled Country”.             Our Constitution is the most sacred book of the Country and it is a strong foundation over which the rights of the people are decided.

MORATORIUM - NEED OF THE HOUR!

 We have come across nature’s fury almost every year but the happy point to notice is that in all such cases it is confined to particular areas or State or region or at the most the country.  Have you ever come across flood havocs through out the world?  How many people are aware of volcanos?  How many places are hit by earth quakes at a single point of time?  The answer is a definite NO.

A Solution to The Pendency Of Cases In Karnataka High Court

1. There is a famous saying that justice delayed is justice denied and it is also said justice hurried is justice buried. Thus, without bypassing the procedure, a via media has to be found out to reduce the pendency of cases especially before Constitutional Courts. 2. Before examining the issue, let me find out the Approved strength, Working Strength and Vacancies of Judges in the Supreme Court of India and the High Courts as that will have a direct bearing on pendency of cases. As on 01.12.2018, the said figures read thus: Name of the Court Approved Strength Working Strength Vacancies as per  Approved Strength Supreme Court of India 31 27 04 High Courts Peramanent+ Additional =Total Peramanent +   Additional =Total Peramanent  +    Additional     =Total Allahabad 76  + 84   =160 62 + 48  =110 14 + 36   =50 Telangana & Andhra Pradesh 46  + 15    = 61
