Attend to the shortage of judges at all levels on a war-footing.

The impending shortage of judges in the Supreme Court might grab headlines. But it is only the most visible aspect of a problem that ails our entire judicial system, right from the lowest to the highest level: the acute shortage of judges. So, come October, when seven of the judges of the Apex Court are due to retire, the Supreme Court will find itself functioning with less than 75% of its sanctioned strength.
