New Delhi:
The Supreme Court today said that no government wants a strong judiciary.
These observations came during the hearing of the Amar Singh phone-tapping case.
Discussing the delays in disposing cases in the lower courts, the bench observed, "No government wants strong judiciary. Look at the allotment made to judiciary in the budget which is less than one percent. "
Stressing on the need for more courts and manpower, the Court said, " There is less manpower. There are committees and committees. At some point of time we may have to issue directions"
The Supreme Court has asked the Additional Solicitor General, Mohan Parasaran, to inform it of steps taken by the Government on this issue.
