| Sl   | Name of the   |   Year | Year   |   Year |   Year |   Year | Year                    |
|------|---------------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------------------------|
| No.  | Court         |   2019 | 2020   |   2021 |   2022 |   2023 | 2024 (as on 29.07.2027) |
| 1    | Supreme Court |     10 | --     |     09 |     03 |     14 | 03                      |
| 2    | High Court    |     81 | 66     |    120 |    165 |    110 | 11                      |

A statement of vacancies of Judges filled up during the last five years in High Courts is at Annexure-III .

Further, filling up of vacant positions in the  in case of District & Subordinate courts is the responsibility of the High Courts and State Governments concerned. As per the Constitutional framework, in exercise of powers conferred under proviso to Article 309 read with Articles 233 and 234 of the Constitution, the respective State Government in consultation with the High Court frames the rules and regulations regarding the issues of  appointment  and  recruitment  of  Judicial  Officers  in  the  respective  State  Judicial Service. In some States, the respective High Court undertakes the recruitment process, whereas in other  States,  the  High  Court  does  it  in  consultation  with  the  State  Public Service Commission.The Hon'ble Supreme Court vide judicial order passed in January 2007 in the Malik Mazhar Sultan case, has stipulated certain timelines which are to be followed  by  the  States  and  the  respective  High  Courts  for  initiating  the  recruitment process of judges in subordinate courts. A statement showing sanctioned strength and vacancies  over  the  last  five  years  in  district  and  subordinate  courts,  State  wise  is  at Annexure-IV .

The  Judges  of  High  Courts  are  appointed  under  Article  217  and  224  of  the Constitution of India and according to the procedure laid down in the Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) prepared in 1998 pursuant to the Supreme Court Judgment of October

6,  1993  (Second  Judges  case)  read  with  their  Advisory  Opinion  of  October  28,  1998 (Third Judges case).

As per the MoP, the responsibility for initiation of proposals for appointment of Judges in the High Courts vests with the Chief Justice of the concerned High Court, in consultation with two senior-most puisne Judges of the High Court. For appointments to the  High  Courts,  under  the  MOP,  the  views  of  concerned  State  Government  are  also obtained.  The  recommendations  also  have  to  be  considered  in  the  light  of  such  other reports as  may  be  available to  the  Government  in  respect  of  the  names  under consideration. The recommendations of the High Court Collegium, the State Governments  and  the  Government  of  India  are  then  forwarded  to  the  Supreme  Court Collegium (SCC) for advice. Only those persons are appointed as Judges of High Courts, whose names have been recommended by the SCC.

Appointment of the Judges of the Constitutional Courts is a continuous, integrated and collaborative process between the Executive and the Judiciary. It requires consultation and approval from various constitutional authorities both at state and central level. While every effort is made to fill up the existing vacancies expeditiously, vacancies of  Judges  in  High  Courts  do  keep  on  arising  on  account  of  retirement,  resignation  or elevation of Judges and also due to increase in the strength of Judges.

The  Government  is  aware  of  the  impact  of  the  vacancies  on  the  status  of pendency in the country. However,the vacancy of judges is not the sole reason, affecting the disposal of cases in courts. The disposal of cases in courts is also affected by several other  factors  which,  inter-alia,  include  availability  of  physical  infrastructure  and supporting court staff, complexity of facts involved, nature of evidence, co-operation of stake  holders  viz.  bar,  investigation  agencies,  witnesses  and  litigants  and  proper application of rules and procedures. Other factors that lead to delay in disposal of cases include lack of prescribed timeframe by respective courts for disposal of various kinds of cases, frequent adjournments and lack of adequate arrangement to monitor, track and bunch cases for hearing.
