Dismissing reports of differences with the judiciary on the process of appointment of judges in the Supreme Court and in High Courts, Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said the Collegium system will prevail, in the absence of alternative mechanisms and legislations enacted by the Parliament.
Speaking to a gathering after laying the foundation stone for a lawyers’ chamber at the Integrated Court Complex in Puducherry on Thursday, the Minister said some people had “jumped the gun,” in making adverse comments and raised questions on the intention of the government after he wrote a letter to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) on having a very “structured” Collegium system as “guided by the observations and directions of the Constitution Bench .” The Constitution Bench had clearly mandated that the government and the Collegium come together and restructure the Memorandum of Procedure for the appointment of judges.
“It is my duty as Law Minister to carry forward the order of the Constitution Bench. Some people are trying to see a problem in everything and create controversy. As long as the Collegium system prevails, as long as an alternative system is not in place and as far as Parliament does not bring [in] a new system, we must carry forward with the present system and that system needs certain updation and restructuring as per the wishes of the Constitution Bench. I have already taken certain positive steps by having consultation with CJI,” the Minister said.
