In an interview given by the Institute, Sibal said, ‘The National Judicial Appointments Commission is once again trying its best to create a situation in which the Supreme Court can be scrutinized in a ‘wrong way’.
Sibal’s reaction has come after Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s aloof comment. Dhankhar would have commented sharply on the decision of the Supreme Court to cancel the NJAC. Dhankhad by Kesavanand Bharti Khatlyatil in 1973, the question mark would have been present; As well as ‘or the example of the removal has been fixed, the Parliament can amend the constitution; But its basic structure cannot be changed, or we disagree with the decision of the Supreme Court,’ he would have said.
The Supreme Court would have struck down the NJAC Act in 2015 as unconstitutional. Specifically, the purpose of the law is to change the collegium system of appointment of judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts.
