Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir,
Adding Judges is merely a mathematical bandage
The Cabinet’s approval to increase the Supreme Court’s from 33 to 37 judges is a welcome step against the staggering 92,000 pending cases.
However, adding judges is merely a mathematical bandage. Originally Article 124 of the Constitution mandated just seven apex judges yet successive numerical expansions have never successfully eliminated pendency.
To truly revolutionize our judiciary we must implement innovative solutions and establish specialized regional courts of appeal. This deep restructuring would empower the apex court to focus strictly on constitutional matters instead of routine appellate litigation. Numerical enhancement is crucial but procedural decentralisation and technological integration is the true ultimate key to accelerate justice.
