The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
The collegium system of Judges appointment is an eye sore for BJP. They are not able to saffron ise the judiciary fast. The MOP allows the government to seek re consideration. But there is no time limit for appointment prescribed. The BJP waits and appoints selectively. They are more particular about the seniority. They don’t want someone who does not listen to them becoming CJHC or CJI. Brazen misuse of power.
