“When things need to move, they move in a day. When things don’t need to move, they don’t move for months” this was the version of Justice S K Kaul of the Supreme Court of India.
Hence there is no point in blaming the ministers or officers because the will hangs from the top.
The Supreme Court on the other day linked the bitter failure of the National Judicial Appointments Commission to the govt’s unwillingness to “cross some Rubicons” and take on the judiciary by delaying Collegium recommendations.
As per reports, there are a few names given by the Collegium which are not suitable for a few in power.
There was verbal duel which the apex court witnessed that day as the tension over the simmering discontent between the judiciary and the government prolonged over the ‘inaction’ from the government.
Whatever may be the reason but the discontents were high when Justice Kaul expressed his displeasure “effectively frustrating the method of appointment”.
Names have remained pending for a year and half. Some of them had been originally recommended way back in 2019 and still not cleared.
In fact, the kind of face off over the judicial appointments between the government and the judiciary has been very prolonged causing delay in the judicial functioning.
