In Brief
These consolidated writ petitions sought court orders to fill vacant judicial positions and increase the strength of judges in subordinate and high courts, citing the Law Commission's recommendations. The Supreme Court found that the Government was already actively processing judicial appointments and considering judicial expansion. The Court disposed of the petitions as the prayers were substantially in implementation, while granting liberty to approach the Court again after initial implementation steps were completed. W.P. (C) No. 210 of 2016 was dismissed as it disclosed no ground for intervention.
