The question of primacy - The Hindu

Constitutional identity of CJI: question of primacy - The Hindu



My VIEW:

The issues emanating from the excellent analysis here go much beyond the distinction between ‘The Chief Justice of India’ and ‘The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India’ which forms the basis of the editorial. The role of the ‘head’ of the organisation in appointments in the hierarchy he heads including himself needs to be studied and clarified, once. This is needed because the government (at various levels, presently misunderstood for the legislative authorities from top to bottom) many a time puts on the mantle of ownership and wishes to have a final say in such matters. Ideally, the head of the hierarchy need to have a significant role in deciding the way in which appointments in any organisation including judiciary are made. Illustratively, the concept should apply to constitutional bodies like CAG and statutory organisations like RBI also. The debate opened now by The Hindu needs to be taken forward in public interest.
