Union Government Assures SC to Adhere Timeline and Expedite Judicial Appointment Process

The Union Government on Friday assures the Supreme Court that it will adhere to the timeline and will expedite the judicial appointment process.

Appearing for Centre govt the Attorney General R Venkataramani, apprised the court that out of 104 recommendations with the govt as of now, 44 will be processed by Saturday itself.

A bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul expressed concern about creating an environment where meritorious people are hesitant to give consent for their names for an appointment for a judge’s post due to delay in clearing the name. The Top court also flagged the issue that the people have withdrawn a couple of names as their names have not been cleared for months.

The court remarked that the person is professionally affected, therefore people hesitate to give consent as it gives examples of two outstanding counsels who withdrew their names because of the delay in clearing their names.

Attorney General R Venkataramani urged to list the matter after four weeks as he needs to have some consultations on the issue.

The Supreme court listed the matter for further hearing on February 3.
