Judges do not have to contest any election: It does not mean that the public is not watching, says Law Minister on Supreme Court Collegium

Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has once again given a statement amid discussions about reforms in the Supreme Court collegium related to the appointment of judges. Rijiju said in a program of Delhi Bar Association on Monday – It is necessary to have an independent judiciary for a strong democracy in the country.



Rijiju said- Once in office, judges do not have to face any election or public scrutiny. That is, they are not elected by the general public. This is the reason why the public cannot change you, but it does not mean that the public is not watching you.


While sharing a video of a retired judge on Sunday, the Law Minister wrote – There should be a representative of the public in the Supreme Court. Only those people do not follow the provisions of the constitution and the opinion of the people, who consider themselves above the constitution.


It is wrong to think that the system will not be questioned

Kiren Rijiju said that it is wrong to think that no one will question or raise any questions on the system that is running today. Sometimes a change in the system is also necessary. Our government and earlier governments have also made changes in the articles of the constitution when necessary. That's why change should never be seen in a negative way. He said that the things that are happening today regarding the collegium are baseless.
