New Delhi: The Centre has decided to hold wider consultations on bringing Judicial Appointments Commission that proposes to scrap the collegium system of appointment of judges. Sources stated that the National Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, 2014, was discussed on Wednesday at the meeting of the Union Cabinet which has given its “in-principle” approval to the measure.
But the bill was not cleared as it was felt that the result of the wider consultations should be awaited, the sources said, indicating that the proposed legislation could get delayed. The government is making efforts to bring the bill in the current session.
