New Delhi: A unique measure of establishing a judicial performance index has been suggested by Centre’s think-tank Niti Aayog, to help the high courts and its chief justices to keep track of performance and process improvement at the district courts and subordinate levels for reducing delays.
Mentioning this in its three-year action agenda recently released by it, the Niti Aayog has stated that it will require fixing flexible time frames for different types of cases as broad guidelines, to benchmark when a case has been delayed.
It has said that by using existing infrastructure and data, indicators could be created to see that for how long cases have been pending. Also what percentage of cases have been delayed and how many cases were disposed off in the last year, compared to the year before.
