Legislature, executive should not encroach upon judiciary: CJI

#Legislature # executive should not encroach upon judiciary: CJI # RM Lodha
New Delhi, Aug 15 (IBNS): Chief Justice of India RM Lodha in his Independence Day speech on Friday urged that the legislature and executive should not encroach upon the judiciary.
"The people in judiciary, the people in executive, and the people in Parliament are matured enough to have mutual respect for each other as well as for the smooth functioning. None of them should encroach on each others jurisdiction, unhindered by extraneious circumstances and unconstitutional means," Lodha said.
 
This comes after the upper house of Parliament- Rajya Sabha- on Thursday passed the National Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, 2014 and Constitutional Amendment Bill, a new proposal that would scrap the collegium system in the appointment of the judges and thus will give the Executive in the selection of judges though a Commission.  
 
Now the judges would not be appointed only by a collegium of senior Supreme Court judges but by a panel of Commission of six members comprising the Chief Justice of India, the next two most senior judges of the Supreme Court, the Law Minister,  and two eminent personalities, the last two to be selected by the Prime Minister and the Leader of Opposition.
