Supreme Court: Interference in judicial system doesn't augur well
The Supreme Court on Monday said interference into the appointments and transfer of judges does not augur well for the institution of judiciary.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday said interference into the appointments and transfer of judges does not augur well for the institution of judiciary.
"Appointments and transfers go to the root of the administration of justice and where judicial review is severely restricted. Interference in system of administration of justice does not augur well for the institution," a three-judge bench presided over by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said.
The top court made the observations while allowing a plea by the Gujarat High Court Advocates Association, to keep its writ petition alive wherein it had questioned delay on the part of Union government in clearing the file related to elevation of Justice Akil Kureshi.
The Supreme Court Collegium had on May 10 recommended for appointment of Justice Kureshi as the Madhya Pradesh High Court chief justice.
