The Chief Justice of India Justice K G Balakrishnan has strongly defended the appointment procedure of Judges. A day after law minister severely criticized the appointment procedure of the judges by the collegiums, Justice Balakrishnan said that they are following the procedure set by Judgment of the apex court.
The Chief Justice said that he will follow the procedure set by the Supreme Court judgment unless law is amended by the parliament. Justice Balakrishnan also went on saying that in the present system too, the chief minister can be consulted but this is subject to satisfaction of the chief justice of the particular high court.
The Chief Justice however refrained from giving his personal views on the collegiums system in which judges are appointed after the recommendation from the High court and a final decision is taken by three senior most judges in the Supreme Court. Law Minister H R Bharadwaj has said on Wednesday that collegiums system of appointment of judges has failed completely.
