The attorney general, on behalf of the Center, said that “sometimes media reports are false”.

Here’s a 10-point guide to this big story:

  1. “When someone in a high position says… it shouldn’t have happened,” the Supreme Court said of Law Minister Kiren Rijiju’s criticism of the judge appointment system. Mr. Rijiju, who has barely concealed his displeasure with the government’s lack of more say in appointing justices to the supreme court, recently launched a fresh attack on the mechanism. current appointment, says the panel system is “foreign” to the Constitution.

  2. The Supreme Court, in its wisdom, created the corporation, he said, noting that before 1991, all judges were appointed by the government.

  3. Speaking at the Times Now Summit, the Law Minister said the Indian Constitution is a “religious document” for people, especially the government. “Anything that 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.

The attorney general, on behalf of the Center, said that “sometimes media reports are false”. “Mr. Attorney General, I have ignored all press coverage, but this comes from a sufficiently senior person as well as an interview… I won’t say anything else. If necessary. , we will make a decision,” Judge Kaul told Attorney General R Venkataramani, who is representing the Center.

  8. “There’s no way you can keep the names, that frustrates the whole system… And sometimes when you appoint, you pick some names from the list and don’t remove the others. What you do is you effectively break seniority,” the court added.

  9. The Supreme Court added that many of the recommendations were pending for four months and were overdue. The timelines must be respected, it said. The highest court mentioned that one lawyer whose name was offered has died, while another has withdrawn consent.

  10.
