"Grave Concern": Law Minister On Supreme Court Revealing "Secret" Reports
NDTV
Amid a tussle with the government, it was an unprecedented move by the Supreme Court to make public documents by intelligence agencies - RAW and the IB - on the government's objections.
In a spiraling conflict over judicial appointments, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju today objected strongly to the Supreme Court making public the government's objections to candidates recommended for judges.
Last week, the Supreme Court collegium headed by the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, published on the Supreme Court website the government's objections to the elevation of three candidates for judge and its own counter.
Amid a tussle with the government, it was an unprecedented move by the Supreme Court to make public documents by intelligence agencies - the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) - on the government's objections.
Mr Rijiju said today that he would "react at an appropriate time" but made his views clear.
