Talks over instituting decade-old proposal of creating an All India Judicial Services (AIJS) fails to die down. Reportedly, the government is working on a draft bill but the consensus among higher Judiciary, states and the Centre appears elusive. Mutually differing and conflicting views appear to have eclipsed the idea.

Reportedly, CJI Justice S A Bobde suggested the government to gauge prospects and possibility of setting up an academy, on the lines of the National Defence Academy (NDA), Khadagwasla, for entry-level judges where students could study law and then, on passing out, join the subordinate judiciary. Justice Bobde has reportedly suggested to the Centre that dedicated infrastructure and complex may be conceptualised like that of National Fire Service College (NFSC), Nagpur which could be considered for the purpose of setting up the national academy of the subordinate judiciary.
