History of All India Judicial Services

With the implementation of these types of exams, people who are capable of getting a job but are not getting them for various reasons can have better chances of getting the jobs, and it will become easier for them. But first, it is not a bad idea to know a few facts about the history of All-India Judicial Services before we dive into the details of the exams. 

The Judiciary Services and Their Mode of Working

For any country’s judiciary system to be strong, the crime rate has to be low. The crime rate will become low only if the punishment for crimes is harsh. One should think about the consequences of committing crimes before committing them. People in the judiciary system look into these things. To get to know more about people working in this system, you should have a fair knowledge of the history of All-India Judicial Services so that you get clarity about the various issues related to it.

How Have Judicial Services Came into the Limelight?

Previously, the state government selected people in the judiciary system. Since the state government recruits the people, they have total control of the posts in their hands. So the central government decided to take over the authority from the states for flexibility in transferring these people to other states. The proposal for selection into AIJS has been made with some guidelines, and going through these guidelines will give us a deeper insight into it. This is an attempt to include the recruitment of the district’s highest cadre of the judicial system. It becomes flexible for them to transfer people to the place they like, as they were also involved in the recruitment process. 

What Is the main objective of these Exams?

Objectives are laid whenever something new gets implemented. This can have many advantages. Similarly,  the proposal for selection into AIJS helps centralise judges’ recruitment in the judiciary system. Before, it was done by the state commission and the judges of the respective state high court. The additional judges and the district judges are recruited with the help of these services. This was initially proposed by the law commission, which usually takes over the changes that have to be made in the country’s judicial system and various other services.

What Are the Events That Take Place for It to Come into Action?

Implementation of this bill has taken a lot of time, and several commissions have proposed this bill for it to pass.

We will now discuss the chronological events to implement these bills. The law commission first proposed this in 1958 in their 14th report. Later in 1992, the panel of the Supreme Court judges directed the Central Government to implement the idea of conducting All India Exams for the recruitment of the judges. Later on, in 2006, the Parliamentary Standing Committee backed the idea again to implement the proposal.

Benefits of the Judiciary System

The chronological events that have implemented the Indian Services Exams have several advantages. Let us know a little about these advantages. 

• It improves the functioning of the judiciary system.
• The chances of recruitment every year, unlike how it was with the state government in the picture.
• As the central government is conducting these exams, the time of the exams becomes quite predictable. This also helps in getting brighter students into the judiciary system.
• As the recruitment process is at the national level, the competition for the job is also very tough, and candidates have to fight hard and study well to get the job.
• As the recruitment is on a national level, addressing the judges becomes straightforward, and everyone knows the recruited person.
• With this, there will be an increase in getting a job, especially for people who belong to the backward caste. 

Present Methods of Appointment

SPSC and High Courts are in charge of the selection process because High Courts are in order of the state’s Lower Courts. According to Article 233 and Article 234, it is up to the states to choose district judges, and High Court judges talk to the applicants to hire the best ones. Before appointing a judge, the president follows the Collegium System, talking to the Chief Justice and other justices.

Conclusion 

The overall view of this article gives you a fair idea about the changes that you observe in the Judicial System. The officials have proposed this system after studying the advantages and disadvantages it offers. One person does not decide this, and it is a collaborative decision taken by the officials who excel in this field. They have given their opinions depending on the experience that they have earned during their service. These proposals will come into effect only if people want to see the change in the system, and it will help people join the system later. Although this type of system proposal is straightforward, implementing such services is a massive task as they have to give logical answers to the questions raised against the system.
