Good for jurisprudence

Law Minister’s recent letter addressing CJI in context of the inclusion of a government representative in order to ensure the transparency in the selection of the  judges of the High Courts and the Supreme Court, once again has sparked a new discussion in this respect.

NJAC was kept in abeyance by a constitution bench that had its reservations and even the Government had certain reluctances for the same that has therefore perhaps could not be appropriately endorsed too.

May be the rethought over the same be of consensus over a period of time.

Under the current circumstances what appears evidently is the basic idea regarding the transparency which can have a better check with the revised procedures that could be incorporated and an attitude of remaining open to the suggestion shall obviously be practical and might go nice with the issue that is arrested on account of certain unexplained reasons.

What is significant  to see is that the changes so advised are put into order for consensus and faster implementation.

The important thing is to ensure the vacancies get filled up for the overall good for the jurisprudence.

Imperative is obviously to be of concern at the impasse and to accelerate the changes that are to address for the better status of the current situations.
