Judicial reforms refer to measures undertaken to improve the structure, functioning, independence, accessibility and accountability of the judicial system. In a democratic state, an effective judiciary is essential for protecting constitutional values, enforcing fundamental rights, resolving disputes and maintaining the rule of law. Judicial reforms therefore have implications not only for the State but also for society and public administration. The nature of judicial reforms is primarily institutional. They seek to strengthen judicial independence while ensuring accountability. In India, the Constitution provides an independent judiciary with powers of judicial review. Reforms aim to protect this independence from political and administrative interference while improving transparency in appointments, transfers and disciplinary mechanisms. The debate surrounding the collegium system, the proposed National Judicial Appointments Commission and subsequent constitutional developments reflects the continuing effort to balance judicial autonomy with institutional accountability. A major dimension of reform is reducing judicial delay and the accumulation of cases. Large backlogs weaken
