Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive for the State of Jammu and Kashmir to create necessary posts for the judiciary, emphasizing the state's constitutional duty to ensure adequate staffing. The Court noted that the failure to create these posts led to the engagement of daily rated workers, which was deemed a temporary measure. The Court affirmed the High Court's order for the regularization of these workers as a one-time exception, reinforcing the principle that the state must fulfill its obligations to maintain judicial efficiency.
