Summary:
Given the pendency of cases in India and the shortfall in
judiciary strength, it may be a good idea to appoint judges on a
short-term basis to reduce the backlog of cases in India. This is
inspired by how the government has devised a plan to recruit
private sector professionals, based on a three-year fixed tenure

vacancies in the Union government. The article explores if a
similar framework can be adopted in judicial appointments which may
be an answer to reduce backlog of cases.
