Chief Justice of India, TS.Thakur shocked all by breaking down in front of Prime Minister Modi. Thakur who inaugurated a joint conference of chief ministers and chief justices of high courts said there aren't enough judges to hear the piling cases.
He said inaction by the executive in increasing the number of judges from 21000 to 40000 is making people lose faith in the judiciary.
Thakur who broke down to tears in a emotional voice said "Mere criticism of the judiciary is not enough.
Speeches have been made in past, people have spoken in conferences ... there has been debates in Parliament, but I think nothing really appears to be moving. Centre says that they commit themselves but puts the responsibility on state governments, who in turn put the onus on centre, claiming lack of funds,"
PM Modi who was present later proposed a closed door meeting with him to discuss on the manpower and judicial reforms. He assured of finding a solution along with the judiciary. PM said "I can understand his pains..that the 1987 proposal (of increasing the judge, population ratio) was not fulfilled by the government,"
