New Press and Registration of Periodicals Act Comes into Force

  • The new Press and Registration of Periodicals Act, 2023, came into force and the old Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867, now stands repealed.
  • The registration of newspapers and periodicals was moved online in the Press Sewa Portal, while the Registrar of Newspapers for India (RNI) was renamed as the Press Registrar General of India (PRGI), said the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry.
  • In tune with the ethos of Digital India, the new Act provides for an online system for facilitating the registration of newspapers and other periodicals in the country. The new system replaced the existing manual, cumbersome processes involving multiple steps and approvals at various stages which were causing unnecessary hardships to the publishers.

SC Seeks to Incentivise Super Performer Judges

  • Chief Justice of India D. Y. Chandrachud stated the Supreme Court is devising an objective framework to recognise 'super performer' trial court judges across India. This aims to motivate those efficiently clearing massive case backlogs through additional incentives amidst a growing pileup.
  • Trial courts in India currently grapple with staggering pendency exceeding 4.5 crore cases. Against over 19 lakh fresh case filings per month, an estimated 20,000 judges dispose nearly 13 lakh cases.
  • The Supreme Court realised that differentiated incentives are vital to motivate proactive judges who strive for higher disposal rates and case clearance compared to their peers. Continued equal treatment despite individual variations in effort, approach and productivity disincentivises star performers.
  • During a recent nationwide district judiciary conference, CJI Chandrachud stressed superlative judges cannot be equated to modest or underperforming ones when tackling pendency. Reward frameworks recognizing efforts could inspire more judges to emulate the stars among them.
  • While details remain pending, parameters under consideration for identifying star performers is likely to include:
  • Disposal rates and backlog reduction metrics
  • Judgment quality on legal soundness, clarity, analysis depth etc.
  • Courtroom administration like timeliness, decorum, transparency
  • Initiative taking, work ethic and diligence
  • Handling complex, sensitive and bold cases amidst external pressures
