Chief Justice of India TS Thakur on Sunday made an emotional appeal at the Joint Conference of Chief Ministers and Chief Justices of High Courts in Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also present, to increase the number of judges in order to handle the 'avalanche' of litigations. "It is not enough to criticise the judiciary; you can't shift the entire burden just on the judiciary. There is a defection of blame at every level," CJI TS Thakur lamented.
