According to Law Minister Ashwani Kumar, government is thinking of an alternative system for appointment of judges without disturbing integrity of judiciary, to replace the present mechanism where a collegium of judges has a larger say in such decisions. The new architecture will remove shortcomings in the present system, adding inadequacy of funds will not hold up expansion of judiciary.
Consultations were on with political parties to evolve a consensus. Kumar, however, did not elaborate on the new system being considered but said the government was conscious of not interfering with judicial independence.
On the issue of setting up Supreme Court benches in states, Kumar said the apex court had ruled against such a move perhaps with a view not to dilute the integrity of the country. The issue would be flagged at the next conference of chief justices and chief ministers.
