Inclusion of Law Ministers in Collegium

Abstract

A judge is a lawyer who is a politician who has a friend. Our Supreme Court is also a political court not because judges are politician but because all political disputes are ultimately solved in the court of law. The judiciary should not be solely responsible for the appointment of judges, which is a crucial component of government. The government has made an effort to demonstrate its authority in the process, highlighting the need for a more inclusive framework that includes the executive and legislative branches. To understand the recent debate over our collegium system, it is important to dig deep the constitutionality, history and requirements of the system to be able to answer whether the law minister exclusively be included in the collegium system of India or not. The article aims at elaborating such issues to such context.
