‘Sane view’, says Rijiju of high court ex-judge’s collegium criticism

Amid the ongoing wrangle between the Centre and the judiciary over appointment of judges through the collegium system, Union law minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday cited in his Twitter handle an interview of Justice RS Sodhi (retd), a former judge of the Delhi high court. Sodhi had remarked that the Supreme Court “has for the first time hijacked the Constitution” to such an extent that judges have decided to appoint judges, negating the role of the government.
