Meghwal's appointment has come at a time when the Central government and the Supreme Court have often not been on the same page on the appointment of judges to the higher judiciary.
Union Minister for Law and Justice, Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said that the vision of the Government of India is to ensure justice and equal benefits to the last man standing in row.
The Government has launched two important legal empowerment initiatives which includes Nyaya Bandhu (Pro-bono Legal Services) programme to link the persons eligible to avail free legal aid under Section 12 of LSA Act, 1987 with the pro-bono lawyers. 3840 pro bono advocates have been registered under the programme and 1440 cases have been registered by the beneficiaries, the minister said in the Rajya Sabha.
The Minister's reply came as one member of the Upper House asked "will the Minister of Law and Justice be pleased to state the number of women judges in Supreme Court and High Courts against the current strength of judges".
