This is a long subject. I am trying to say what I want to say in brief. The arrears of cases are actually weighing too much on mind of judges and public.
The consequent, it looks as if some judges have developed “Speedily Disposal Oriented” outlook.
I have seen that, hasty decision making process leads to miscarriage of justice and have seen clients suffering a lot.
“Decision Making” and “Judging” are two different process. Judging essentially involves, Contemplation Process which certainly takes time.
Silver lining is this, that some judges, including Chief Justice of India Justice Kabir, are not disposal-oriented judges. They deliberate, contemplate and then judge. The quality of judgements is more important than quantity of justice.

Self Discipline and Code of Coduct among judges of SC and HC
StandardThe subject came up yesterday with discussion with Supreme Court Bar Association President M N Krishnamani.
In his view, these are all Constitutional posts. They are not subject to control of anyone. But when discipline is not enforced from outside, then discipline must be enforced from inside.
Though I have inadequate knowledge and experience about this world, I think that in principle, I agree with him. The Code of Conducts of SC and HC judges must be made available on website of such courts.
