NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday told the Centre to "expeditiously" clear the recommendations of the Collegium for appointment of high court judges, referring to the chart that was made public on its website early this week, as it flagged the huge pendency of over 700,000 criminal appeals across all high courts that required sanctioned posts of judges to be filled up on an urgent basis.
Passing an order in a suo motu proceeding on "Policy Strategy for Bail" the court was considering a set of suggestions required to expedite the hearing of criminal appeals in high courts.
