‘Collegium system must be transparen­t’

- HT Correspond­ent

As the Supreme Court prepares to take up on Tuesday the issue of improving the functionin­g of the opaque collegium system of judicial appointmen­ts revived last month, experts unanimousl­y suggested the process must be transparen­t.

Noting that sitting judges didn’t have enough time to look at probable candidates, former Delhi high court judge RS Sodhi said: “There should be a body to assist them in the process. This body should hunt talent. After filtration by this body of former judges and bar members, the HC collegium and SC collegium should take a call.”
