5,133 vacant posts in subordinate judiciary unacceptable: SC
The Supreme Court on Monday said it is "wholly unacceptable" that 5,133 out of a total of 22,036 posts in the subordinate judiciary are lying vacant in India. It said, "The Registry of this Court is, therefore, directed to register a suo motu writ petition." The recruitment process to fill up 4,180 posts is underway, the court added.
