Justice Muralidhar also said that another way of hampering the independence of judiciary is to put barriers to it being fully staffed. There have been instances where appointments have not gone through for several months, he added.
“It is one thing for the government to agree to increase the sanctioned strength. It is another to not create the right atmosphere to appoint more people to fill up those vacancies. There is a role for govt, judiciary and a big role for the bar,” the former judge said.
