Answer: D

• The Chief Justice of India should consult a collegium of four senior most judges of Supreme Court

for appointment of judge to Supreme Court.

• The appointments of the judges are formally made by the President of India on the

recommendation of the collegium and the proposals are processed through the Ministry of Law and

Justice, Government of India. As no timeline is prescribed by the Supreme Court in its judgments

during which the central government is bound to clear the names of recommended persons as judges, this lacuna helps the central government to delay the judicial appointments if the government does not like such persons recommended by the collegium. The government cannot refuse to accept the recommendation of the collegium but it can certainly delay the appointment of the recommended person by delaying in clearing the names of recommended persons as judge. Hence statement 3 is not correct.

Recently it has been reported that the collegium, which is headed by CJI SA Bobde, has met at least three times in last one month to decide on names of judges for elevation to the apex court, but each time, it has been unable to decide on any name simply because of the lack of consensus. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
