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.
