Govt may not recommend bringing judges’ appointment under RTI

Update: 2016-01-12 23:53 GMT
The government is unlikely to recommend bringing the process of appointment of judges to higher judiciary under RTI ambit as it apprehends it could lead to a flood of applications from aspirants and “interested parties” seeking file notings and other details. But at the same time, amid calls to make the system of appointment of members to the higher judiciary more transparent, the government is likely to include a clause that any dissent note to a recommendation of the collegium to appoint or elevate a judge should be mandatorily shared with the Executive.
