Rajya Sabha passes bill raising Supreme Court judge strength to 38
The Rajya Sabha has approved a bill to increase the number of Supreme Court judges, replacing an earlier ordinance that had already raised the sanctioned strength to 38. The legislation is intended to speed up case disposal and improve overall judicial efficiency. It also grants the Chief Justice greater flexibility when constituting constitution benches. The bill's passage comes at a significant time, as India is expected to appoint its first woman Chief Justice in the near future.
