NEW DELHI: Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday launched a new attack on the appointment mechanism Supreme Court and supreme court judges, saying that the university system is “foreign” to Structure.
He said the Supreme Court, through court rulings, established the collegium, noting that before 1991 all judges were appointed by the government.
Speaking at the Times Now Summit here, the minister said the Indian Constitution is a “religious document” for all people, especially the government.
“Whatever is alien to the Constitution just because of a decision of a court or some judge, how can you expect that decision to be supported by the country,” he asked.
Rijiju said the university system is foreign to our Constitution. “Can you tell me under what terms the university system is regulated,” he asked.
He explained that once the Supreme Court or high court submits a recommendation, the government must conduct due diligence.
Rijiju was responding to a question about the government “sitting” on the various recommendations of the Supreme Court in court at a time when cases are piling up in the courts.
But at the same time, the minister said the present-day government in 1991 and the current regime “have great respect for the university system until or unless it is replaced by a better system”.
He said he would not enter into the debate about what that system should be. “That requires a better platform or a better situation.”
Almost unanimously, Congress had overcome National Judicial Appointment Committee (NJAC) Action to overthrow the university system. But the law was rejected by the Supreme Court.
Rijiju said as long as the university system prevails, he must respect the system. But if you think that the name appointed as a judge should only be signed because it was recommended by the council, what is the role of government? What does appraisal mean?
He said there were loopholes in the university system and “people are speaking out” that the system is not transparent. “You’re not responsible either,” he added.
He said one should never say the government is sitting on the record.
Then don’t send the files to the government. You specify yourself and you run the program… the system doesn’t work. The Executive and the Judiciary will have to work together.
Before describing the university system foreign to the Constitution, Rijiju Everyone’s judgment is not correct. “But every judgment is right and right because it’s a court decision. In a democratic process, no one can disregard the judiciary and no one can disobey a court order,” he said. speak.
