RESOLUTIONS:- The conference took resolutions on various issues related to the judiciary. On Judicial Accountability: Need for legislation, the conference resolved that a judicial commission should be set up to appoint judges transparently and to conduct inquiry into allegations against the judges. The commission should have the constitutional and leglative backing, and its recommendations should be binding. Declaration of assets should be made public annually, the conference opined. The conference felt that most of the functions of legal service authorities were not compatible with judicial functions, and they had put extra burden on the judicial staff. These authorities have a separate body. Criminal contempt laws are vague, and corrective and remedial actions should be taken in this regard. Quality should be maintained in judgments of trial courts. Village courts are lacking adequate infrastructure and vacancies are not filled. Therefore, the establishment of village courts should be deferred. Advocates should strive hard for excellence, the conference resolved.
