2021 (4) TMI 1268 - SC - CustomsFiling of vacancies of the High Court - there are almost 40% vacancies in the High Courts, with many of the larger High Courts working under 50% of their sanctioned strength - HELD THAT:- Learned Attorney General did not differ with the requirement of time bound schedule for filling the vacancies at every stage though he emphasised that the trigger for filling up of the vacancies is the recommendations made by the Chief Justices of the High Courts. However, once the recommendations are made, there are two stages at which the matter rests with the Government – the first when the Ministry processes the names; and the second post the Collegium of the Supreme Court taking a call in recommending such of the names as are approved by the Collegium. Insofar as the Judiciary is concerned, the second stage after the recommendations are made by the Collegium of the High Courts is the time period taken by the Collegium of the Supreme Court in consulting the consultee Judge(s) to take a call on those names. It would be advisable to follow the timelines prescribed - application disposed off.
