Sir — This refers to the report, “SC raps Centre over appointment delay” (October 29). The Chief Justice of India has over-reacted to the cause of delays in the appointment of judges. The National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) was stalled by the collegium of judges. Had it been in place, this situation should would have arisen. Matters can be sorted out by holding talks with the Government and not by accusing the latter.
Second, the judiciary enjoys the most number of holidays in a year. Add to it, the number of adjournments that a case faces. Moreover, there is no time-frame to finalise a case. And, the less said about corruption the better. Judicial reform is a must in this age.
