Shanta Chhetri asks a Question on mobile application to read Supreme Court judgements

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Will the Minister of LAW AND JUSTICE be pleased to state: 

(a) whether Government is aware that a new mobile application to read the Supreme Court judgements in various languages is available; 

(b) whether the Government proposes to include Nepali language in the said application to read the Supreme Court judgements; and 

(c) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons thereof?

FIRST SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION

Sir, it is a fact that judges cannot remember all the orders they pass each day. Therefore my first question, is whether the ministry acknowledges this fact and would introduce courtroom recording of proceeding which can serve as reference for judges, clients and in higher courts of appeal and create greater transparency and speed of justice system process. 

SECOND SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION

Sir, my second supplementary question, it is no secret that India is in deep unemployment crisis and employing the already employed is a mockery of the unemployed. 

Therefore, my second question is whether the ministry is aware rather than appointing retired judges from High Courts and Supreme Courts in terminal conducting competitive examination in the lines of civil service to fill up those posts which create job opportunities and greater transparency and maintain independently of terminals.
