The Supreme Court directed the activation of Article 224A of the Constitution to appoint ad hoc judges in response to the significant backlog of cases in High Courts, which has reached over 57 lakh. The court emphasized the need for a dynamic interpretation of constitutional provisions to address contemporary judicial challenges. This decision aims to alleviate the persistent issue of vacancies and expedite the judicial process.
