CJI hits out at ‘speculative’ reports on SC Collegium recommendations
The Hindu
He says media must not harm dignity of judicial process
Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Wednesday voiced in open court his extreme displeasure over “speculative” reports in certain sections of the media about the Supreme Court Collegium having recommended nine names for judicial appointments to the top court. The CJI said the reports were “irresponsible” and “counter-productive”. “Today’s reflections in some sections of the media, pending the process, even before formalising the resolution is counter-productive. There were instances of deserving career progression of bright talents getting marred because of such irresponsible reporting and speculation. This is very unfortunate and I am extremely upset about it,” Chief Justice Ramana said.More Related News
