Law minister Kiren Rijiju proposes the panel at SC level include a central govt nominee and at HC level state and central govt nominees. SC collegium is yet to deliberate on the letter.
In a tweet Saturday, Rijiju says Tawang has been secured due to “adequate deployment” of the Indian Army. The catch, however, is that the photo dates back to October 2019.
Top court held up the example of a power equipment theft case it was hearing Friday, and said there would have been a ‘serious miscarriage of justice’ if it didn’t intervene in such cases.
At a summit Sunday, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said there were loopholes in the collegium system that appoints judges to the top court and the country’s HCs.
Rijiju also criticised 'politics' within the collegium, and the Supreme Court's 2015 decision to strike down the proposed National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act.
Rijiju said judges are 'preoccupied' with appointments, due to which delivery of justice 'suffers'. Till 1993, judges were appointed by the law ministry in consultation with the CJI.
The centrally sponsored scheme is yet to see full compliance from states, however, states like UP & MP report high pendency despite having fully functional fast track, POCSO courts.
