The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice (Rajya Sabha) will submit its interim report on judicial reforms next month. | |
| Disclosing this here on Saturday, E M Sudarsana Natchiappan, chairman of the standing committee, said the proposed reforms included judicial accountability and introduction of judicial impact statement among others. |
| |
| Judicial accountability envisages judges and courts to make annual statements on the number of cases disposed and the time taken for delivering each judgement. |
| |
| The judicial impact statement is an exercise of anticipating the new cases arising out of the existing or the new legislations made by the Parliament and the state legislatures. |
| |
| "We are considering a proposal according to which the departments concerned will bear the financial burden arising out of any court cases," he said. |
| |
| Among other important proposals, the standing committee has also favoured bringing back the pre-1993 system in the appointment of judges where all the three wings "� judiciary, legislature and executive "� will participate in the selection process of judges, Natchiappan told the media. |
| |
| He said the committee was insisting that all the public sector undertakings set up citizen charters for the speedy redressal of any grievances to the satisfaction of both the parties. |
