The Preamble to the Constitution of India promises to all its citizens – social, economic and political justice. However, the judicial machinery configured to administer it has become the biggest hurdle in the dispensation of justice. This paper dwells into the desirability and the feasibility of adopting the idea of All India Judicial Services (‘AIJS’) to revitalise the lowest tier of judiciary, which is hopelessly plagued by humongous backlog and unmanageable vacancy. For a well-rounded perspective, the paper traces the evolution of AIJS as an idea and analyses the merit of contentions pitted against it. Questions relating to the structure of AIJS, the effect of such a metamorphosis on the role of High Courts, quality of judicial officers, and independence of judiciary are of immense contemporary relevance in India and form the central research theme of this paper.
