SC for centralised system to select judicial officers:
Context
- The Supreme Court on Friday indicated a favourable attitude towards a centralized selection mechanism for appointment of judicial officers in the subordinate judiciary.
The decision taken by bench
- A Bench led by Chief Justice of India J.S. Khehar said the court was even ready for a day-long hearing on the issue on August 22 to amicably resolve the objections of various States and High Courts to the proposal.
- The Bench tried to mitigate the concern of various States and High Courts, maintaining that there would be no breach and interference in the federal structure.
- The court considers this as a service to nation, not a gain to someone.
- A country to progress needs functional and effective judiciary according to the court.
- No person from abroad would like to come to India and contest his case for 15 years. Citizen should have confidence in the judiciary.
- It directed the apex court registry to send a “concept note” of the proposal allaying the objections to all the Registrars-General of the High Courts and the secretaries of States’ Law Ministries.
