Implement Law Commission recommendations to check nepotism
This system will also effectively check unavoidable incidents of locally appointed high court judges being approached through their local friends, relations and former bar-colleagues, apart from ending 'Uncle Judge' phenomenon in high courts.
ENCOURAGED BY strict strictures by Supreme Court over ‘uncle’ judges at Allahabad High Court, Rajasthan advocates have raised voice against such ‘uncle’ judges at Rajasthan High Court too. Instead of waiting for indefinitely waited ‘Judicial Accountability Bill’, Union government by way of an ordinance should implement carefully-drafted Law Commission recommendation not to appoint judges in same high courts where they might have been having practice earlier prior to their being appointed as high court judge. This system will also effectively check unavoidable incidents of locally appointed high court judges being approached through their local friends, relations and former bar-colleagues, apart from ending ‘Uncle Judge’ phenomenon in high courts with children of judges appearing before ‘Uncle Judges’ familiar through intimacy amongst family-members of different judges.
