Justice Chelameswar’s stepping out as a leader of the collegium is important, but as a judge in NJAC case, he privileged the executive as central to individual liberty and the structure of constitutional institutions.
Other names recommended by the collegium with Harnaresh Singh Gill, Basharat Ali Khan, Mohammad Mansoor & Mohd. Nizamuddin have been approved or rejected.
India’s most trusted regulatory body, the Reserve Bank of India, has given the courts two opportunities to question its manner of taking significant decisions in the last two years.

I remember the judge as a person whose VVIP judicial car blocked the exit at cochin airport and handicapped people and elderly citizens had to wait in their wheel chairs long, till the judge finished his talks with friends and left in his car
I do not know if this would be inappropriate to say
In the Rajbala and NJAC case, he privileged the Executive as he felt that it was right.
As a leader of the collegium he stepped out to oppose the Executive over-reach, which was also right.
In life, one side will neither be correct all the time, nor in-correct. Justice Chelameswar is actually looking at the facts and deciding accordingly, and not being driven by his biases.
I first became aware of Justice Chelameswar when he and three senior colleagues spoke directly to the Indian people. That was an act of rare courage and openness, not something they would have done without considerable forethought and a few misgivings. On the collegium, whatever its limitations, it is the least bad option. This is sacred space the apex court has carved out for itself, to protect against the depredations first seen in the period leading up to the emergency. Until such time as the nation can be completely sanguine about the executive, the present system, with such improvements as the collegium itself decides upon with the passage of time, should endure.
