NEW DELHI: In an apparent reference to the recent incident in which the Supreme Court ordered medical examination of a sitting judge, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today attacked the collegium system saying this judge was chosen through this procedure.
“A gentleman is in the news for all wrong reasons. I understand that his medical examination is ordered as directed by the apex court. He was also a part of the collegium system,” Prasad said while making indirect reference to Justice Karnan who was asked by the apex court to undergo medical examination.
Prasad said even before the collegium system came into force, the executive played an important part in the selection process of judges and asked why the Prime Minister cannot be trusted in the appointment of a judge. (AGENCIES)
