In Re : Central Selection Mechanism For Subordinate Judiciary

v.

Union of India & Ors. _____________________________ Respondent(s)

S.M.W.(C) No. 1 of 2017, decided on July 28, 2017

The Order of the court was delivered by

Order

1. We are tentatively of the view, that the objections raised by a few of the High Courts for centralization of the selection process of Subordinate Judges, have been suitably dealt with in our order dated 10.7.2017. It however seems, that some confusion still persists. This obviously is out of a possible mis-communication. We therefore, consider it just and appropriate to request Mr. Arvind P. Datar, learned Amicus Curiae, to prepare a ‘Concept Note’, highlighting the various aspects of our order dated 10.7.2017 and indicating how the objections raised stand satisfied. The ‘Concept Note’ shall be placed on the record of this case, and circulated amongst learned counsel representing the States or the High Courts, before the next date of hearing.
