Union Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the people of the country are not happy with the collegium system and according to the Constitution's spirit, appointing judges is the government's job. Though it is not for the first time thatCentre is found criticising the collegium system. Rijiju’s remarks came just before Justice Chandrachud’s appointment as the CJI. In light of the efforts being made by Centre to replace it- through National Judicial Appointment Commission Bill, 2014 and through verbal attacks on its constitutional legitimacy, is it time to look back at the collegium system?
