The Constitution Amendment Bill providing a say for the Executive in appointment of judges of higher judiciary is likely to hit a roadblock with the BJP divided over sending it to a Parliamentary panel. The Opposition had already made it clear that the main bill - Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, 2013 - aimed at creating a Judicial Appointments Commission for appointing judges to the Supreme Court and 24 high courts will have to go to the standing committee.
While a section of BJP is ready to get the Constitution (120th) Amendment Bill passed in RS, Leader of Opposition in LS Sushma Swaraj made it clear that the BJP wants the measure to be referred to a standing committee, sources said.
