The avoidable press conference by four SC judges raised many issues and solved only a few. The judges should not be given an option of getting cases as per their choice. There is an urgent need to bring in judicial reforms to stem the rot due to outdated work culture of the British Era. Transparency in appointments, promotions, discipline, quick and simple procedure for removal of corrupt officials, increasing working days to 250 in a year, bringing judiciary under the RTI Act and fixing accountability, restricting powers to pass stay orders, and the process of bails and unlimited adjournments need to be put in place to restore faith of common man in the judicial system.
