Relevance: <\/strong>concerns associated with the collegium system<\/p>\n

News: <\/strong>The Indian government’s appointment of Justice Siddharth Mridul as Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court is a positive development, showing greater willingness by the government to respect the Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the issues between the Center and the Supreme Court regarding collegium?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Supreme Court has expressed concerns that the Indian government has been selectively approving the recommendations of the Collegium.<\/p>\n

The government has sometimes delayed or ignored the Collegium’s decisions, creating conflicts between the two.<\/p>\n

For example,<\/strong> the government ignored the Collegium’s recommendation to appoint Justice S. Muralidhar as Chief Justice of the Madras High Court for so long that the Collegium eventually canceled its recommendation.<\/p>\n

What can be done to address the issues?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First,<\/strong> it is crucial to streamline the appointment process in line with the Supreme Court’s April 2021 order, which established timelines for the government to process Collegium recommendations and express any reservations.<\/p>\n

Second,<\/strong> once a recommendation is reiterated by the Collegium, it should be implemented within three to four weeks.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it is important to respect the legal principle that a<\/strong> reiterated decision by the Collegium is binding on the government. If this principle is undermined, it will weaken the judiciary as an institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
