We Must Follow Collegium System Until Something New & Acceptable Replaces It: Former CJI UU Lalit

Support The Interview with Karan Thapar - https://fij.mojo.page/support-the-int... This 54-minute interview, done in two parts but presented as one, first explores at length a range of concerns about the working of the Collegium System. These concerns include its opacity, the scope it creates for nepotism, the fact that good candidates are often ignored and not elevated, the fact that inappropriate people often become judges and embarrass the Supreme Court, the fact that the author of the Collegium System, Justice Verma, changed his mind about the Collegium System and in 2004 said a National Judicial Commission would be preferable and, finally, if the Collegium is deemed to be perfect, which is Justice Lalit’s belief, the Supreme Court must fulfill all its requirements with clarity and, if necessary, toughness and this includes insisting that names reiterated for a second time are accepted by the government.
