The attention of the Government has been
drawn to a report in a section of the Press that the Chief Justice
of India does not reportedly see any need for a National Judicial
Commission, as, in his view, the present system of Collegium has
worked well. The Government is committed to setting up of a National
Judicial Commission, which would make recommendations for appointment
of Judges/Chief Justices of High Courts and the Supreme Court,
as also draw up a Code of Ethics for Judges.
This information was given by the Union Minister
of Law and Justice, Shri K. Jana Krishnamurthi in a written reply
to a question from Shri Naresh Puglia and Smt. Shyama Singh in
the Lok Sabha today.
