NDTV
Sources in the government say the reiteration of the judges will be duly processed, and a final call will be taken in due course later next week.
The disclosure of the Supreme Court judges' back-and-forth with the central government over the appointment of judges, including the objections raised by intelligence agencies, has led to disquiet in the security establishment, sources had told NDTV.
It's been a practice not to make the objections public, and keep the confidentiality of intelligence agencies who scrutinise prospective candidates for the posts of the higher judiciary -- both in the High Court and Supreme Court. The disclosure has caused great concern within the government, which feels that this should not have been disclosed and used publicly.
A final call will be taken to sensitise the Chief justice of India about this practice, which has been followed since Independence, sources said.
Sources in the government say the reiteration of the judges will be duly processed, and a final call will be taken in due course later next week.
