State Of Jammu And Kashmir And Ors vs District Bar Association, Bandipora

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive that the State of Jammu and Kashmir must create an equal number of posts for daily rated workers in the judiciary, emphasizing the state's constitutional responsibility to ensure adequate staffing. The Court noted that the failure to create necessary posts has led to reliance on daily wage workers, which is not a sustainable solution. The Court dismissed the state's Special Leave Petition against the High Court's interim order, reinforcing the need for the state to regularize the services of these workers and provide proper judicial infrastructure.
