He shared,<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cI have visited district courts where it used to be very conventional for district judges to stand when HC judges were having lunch or dinner and sometimes even serve them.

I would always say that we will not have our food unless you sit on the same table and have food with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">He said that he makes a conscious effort to not to refer the District Court judges as subordinate judges as they are not subordinate to the Supreme Court or the High Court judges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">He also said that in order to ensure that we move towards a modern and equal judiciary, there was also a need to inculcate the feeling of self-worth in District Judiciary.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Removal of human interference from Listing Process <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Noting that listing has been a real problem, CJI Chandrachud appreciated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2022\/08\/27\/justice-uu-lalit-takes-oath-as-49th-chief-justice-of-india-focuas-areas-judgments-background-supreme-court-ramana-retires-legal-news-updates-research\/\">the concrete steps taken by former CJI Justice UU Lalit towards making the system transparent in a short tenure of 74 days<\/a>. Stating that he would work on building on that, CJI Chandrachud said that his focus would be on removing the element of human interference in the listing process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">He said that there was a need to institutionalise all the processes so that it doesn\u2019t matter who the CJI is. Once the institutional mechanism is set up, there will not be any need to work on it again when a Chief Justice retires.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Elevation of members of the bar as High Court judges<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">CJI Chandrachud said that he and his colleagues have a list in mind of members of the Bar who can be elevated to the High Courts as judges.

vacancies<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">CJI Chandrachud said that he will focus on resolving the issue of judicial vacancies as he is conscious of the fact that 25% of posts are vacant in Distriuct judiciary, 30% of sanctioned strength is vacant in State Judiciary and there are vacancies at the Supreme Court as well.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align:

his technological inclination, plans to introduce e-filing as the Supreme Court, he said that many lawyers who may not have access to computer or good internet, so he will ensure that technology must reach to such members of the Bar so that e-filing doesn\u2019t become a source of exclusion of such Advocates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CJI Chandrachud said he has many more plans that he intends to execute in his almost two-years-long tenure but he would let the work do the talking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He concluded by saying that it will be a collaborative
