The Government is preparing a roadmap for judicial reforms in the country which aims, inter alia, at reducing pendency in the courts, introducing accountability of the judges and bringing in transparency in judicial processes for the litigants. Apart from taking appropriate legislative measures, capacity building in the judiciary, through steps such as application for information and communication technology, financial assistance for development of infrastructure and the setting up of more courts have been taken up for this purpose.

The Gram Nyayalayas Act 2008 which has been notified in the official gazette on 9th January 2009 has not as yet come into force for the States to which it applies as the response of the States for implementation of the Act is still awaited.

The central government has decided to shed the cloak of secrecy over the performance appraisal of its 3.3 million employees. Taking a cue from the practice followed in most top private companies, the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions has done away with the confidential nature of the performance appraisal system and has made the process more consultative and transparent.

Under the new system, the appraiser will have to discuss the details of the annual performance report with the employee concerned, including the overall grade and assessment of integrity. The report must also include the employee’s remarks.

The ministry has also changed the name of such reports from Annual Confidential Reports to Annual Performance Assessment Reports.

The new system came into effect from April 1 this year.

The sections/departments of the government in charge of maintaining the annual performance reports have also been directed to disclose the contents of these reports to the officers concerned.

The new system follows the recommendations of the 10th report of the Second Administrative Reforms Commission under Veerappa Moily.

It marks a huge change from the earlier confidential appraisal system that meant any adverse remarks were communicated to the employee concerned only if a specific representation was made to the designated authorities.

Employees who do not agree with the appraisal outcome are now free to make representations against the comments or the final grading within 15 days of receiving the report. The appraisal reports will be treated as final only if no representation is made.

To make sure that this doesn’t become an unending saga, in case of a difference of opinion between the appraiser and the employee, a higher authority will have to take a final call on the appraisal within 30 days.

“A person who goes in search of God is wasting his time. he can walk a thousand roads and join many religions and sects- but he’ll never find God that way. God is here, right now, at our side. In order to find God, you have to only to look around.”

If pain must come, may it come quickly. I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
