Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal has stated that the government is examining appointment systems in various countries to fill vacancies in the higher judiciary.

Meghwal asserted that there is no tussle between the Executive and the Judiciary, and a good consultation process is being followed.

The government is working to strengthen the alternative dispute resolution mechanism, including arbitration, to reduce the rising pendency in courts.

Meghwal also mentioned that the appointment systems in other countries are being examined informally, and no formal mechanism has been put in place to study them.
