(d) whether the Government is contemplating to appoint the Court Managers in order to
help judges in completing cases, related primary formalities with a view to ensure early
settlement of cases;
(e) if so, the details thereof; and
(f) the extent to which the appointment of Court Managers would benefit the common man and
reduce the heavy backlog of pending cases in various courts?
MINISTER OF LAW AND JUSTICE (DR. ASHWANI KUMAR)
(a) & ( b): With a view to enhance the efficiency of court management and resultant improvement
in case disposal, Government has allocated Rs. 300 Crore to the States for creation of posts
of professionally qualified Court Managers, on the recommendation of 13th Finance Commission.
One court manager would be provided to assist judges in each Judicial District, two in each High
Court and one for each Bench of the High Court.
(c): The Court Managers would provide support to judges and assist them in performing their
administrative duties. This would allow more time to judges for performing the judicial functions
and would thus, enable disposal of pending cases, to the benefit of the litigants.
