TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today expressed hope that the issue of delay in appointment of judges to the higher judiciary after the Supreme Court quashed the NJAC Act would get resolved soon and pitched for reforming and fast-tracking the justice delivery system to instill confidence in public.
“If far reaching judicial reforms are not initiated with a great sense of urgency and devotion, the image of judiciary may be eroded in the eyes of the public, thereby endangering the whole civil society and our democracy,” Mahajan said addressing a gathering at the 5th annual Dr L M Singhvi Foundation lecture here.
Symptoms of inefficiency haunt the courts, she said, emphasising that justice delivery system has to be fast- tracked. “We have to think and act in terms of filling up vacancies for post of judges in the judiciary which is one of the reasons for delay in dispensing justice,” she said. “However, the increase in number of judges has to be calibrated carefully to ensure that quality does not get compromised in the process,” she added.
