As per the National Judicial Data Grid (‘NJDG’), total 5766867 cases are pending in different High Courts in the country. Keeping the view on this huge pendency, the Supreme Court of India decided to activate a dormant provision of the Constitution of India under Article 224A. Article 224A of the Constitution of India provides for the appointment of ad-hoc Judges to deal with the unprecedented situation arising from the backlog of cases pending in different High Courts throughout the country. There is difference in the manner of appointment of permanent and additional Judges, and ad hoc judges in the High Court under Article 217 & Article 224 of the Constitution of India. As the MoP has been framed under an administrative discussion is not law declared by the Supreme Court of India while the judicial pronouncements of the Supreme Court are law declared under Article 141 of the Constitution of India in absence of Constitutional provisions on the concept. At this point, we have to discuss the historical perspective of the concept, Constituent Assembly Debates, Constitutional Provisions, Law Commission of India Reports, Memorandum of Procedure, Collegium System and some recent Landmark Judgments with respect to the appointment of ad-hoc Judges in different High Courts will be referred for brief analysis in this research work.
