SETTING
UP OF NATIONAL JUDICIAL COMMISSION
RAJYA SABHA
The Government is
committed to setting up of a National Judicial Commission which
would make recommendations for appointments of judges/ Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court and the High Courts as also draw up a Code
of Ethics for the judges.
As
part of the process of building up the national consensus to set
up the National Judicial Commission, political parties have been
requested to communicate their views in this regard. As setting
up of the Commission would involve amendment to the Constitution
of India, it will not be feasible to indicate a time-frame in
this regard.
This
information was given by the Union Minister of Law and Justice
Shri K. Jana Krishnamurthi in a written reply to a question from
S/Shri K. Natwar Singh and T. Subharami Reddy in the Rajya Sabha
today.
