In fact, <strong>the First law commission\u2019s 14th<\/strong> <strong>Report on \u2018Reform of Judicial Administration\u2019<\/strong> suggested the need for creating a separate All India service for judicial officers.<br \/>\n\u2022 Moreover, the vision document titled Strategy for New India @ 75, released by the NITI Aayog, amongst other things, proposed creation of an AIJS akin to the other central services like the IAS and the IPS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Argument for creation of AIJS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It will ensure that subordinate court judges are paid salaries and given perks at parity with government bureaucrats, thereby incentivizing the option of the state judiciary as a viable career prospect.<br \/>\n\u2022 The quality of judges will improve as the best legal talent across the country would be selected on the basis of merit.<br \/>\n\u2022 The AIJS is also being proposed as a panacea to cure the chronic vacancy crisis plaguing the Indian subordinate judiciary.<br \/>\n\u2022 An All India service will offer a more streamlined and regularized recruitment process for the vacancies for District judges in the country.<br \/>\n\u2022 The<strong> Article 312<\/strong> of the Constitution permits the Rajya Sabha to create an All India Services. Presently, the appointments to the subordinate judiciary are made under <strong>Articles 233 and 234<\/strong> of the Constitution.<br \/>\n\u2022 However, the Article 312 commences with a non-obstante clause, thus will override these provisions.<br \/>\n\u2022 Furthermore, Entry 70 of the Union List provides Parliament exclusive authority to enact a law creating such an AIJS and all connected matters. <strong>Thus, AIJS creation is constitutionally permissible.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Lastly, the efficiency and efficacy of judiciary would be increased and <strong>the issue of corruption, nepotism<\/strong> etc. would be strongly dealt with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Arguments against creation of AIJS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As the Constitution only permits the appointments of District Judges to such a prospective AIJS, it will not magically remedy the shortage of judges at the subordinate level.<br \/>\n\u2022 The idea of an AIJS has been significantly contentious within the legal fraternity and other<br \/>\nconcerned stakeholders. The idea has been vehement disagreed by almost half the High Courts.<br \/>\n\u2022 Many states see this as an attempt by the central government to encroach is state\u2019s domain. Thus, it will be another ground for conflict between the Union and other federal units.<br \/>\n\u2022 If the control over State judiciary is transferred to Union government by removing control of High Court as currently provided under <strong>Article 235, the independence of judiciary<\/strong> would be undermined.<br \/>\n\u2022 The judges appointed by the All India process will need to familiarize themselves with the local languages, customs and laws of the State.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Way forward:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Besides creation of AIJS, it will also be prudent to investigate the reasons and causes for the large number of vacancies in lower judiciary so that the timely corrective steps can be taken.<br \/>\n\u2022 Moreover, even after the selection, a Judicial service officer need to be provided sufficient training to handle the job. Thus, a meritocratic judiciary is the need of the hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>For more such notes, Articles, News &amp; Views Join our Telegram Channel.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" title=\"Telegram link\" href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/triumphias\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https:\/\/t.me\/triumphias<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Click the link below to see the details about the UPSC \u2013Civils courses offered by Triumph IAS.<\/strong><\/span> <strong><a title=\"Courses available\" href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/pages-all-courses.php\">https:\/\/triumphias.com\/pages-all-courses.php<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relevance: Prelims\/Mains: G.S paper II: Polity: Governance: Judiciary \u00a0 Context: The idea of an AIJS has been deliberated since Independence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[123,18],"tags":[392],"class_list":["post-6470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current-affairs","category-general-studies-ii","tag-union-public-service-commission-upsc"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6470"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6474,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6470\/revisions\/6474"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
