Once again highlighting the issue of vacancies in the judiciary and huge backlog of cases, Chief Justice of India TS Thakur said on Sunday the process of appointment of judges must be accelerated. "There are 12 judges per 10 lakh people in the country and at least three crore cases are pending in the courts.
