New Delhi: In order ‘to ensure transparency’, the Supreme Court has finally opened up its doors to greater transparency in matters of judicial appointments. Giving in to a long-standing demand, the SC Collegium has resolved to make all its recommendations public on the Supreme Court website.
The Collegium passed the resolution on October 3, maintaining that their recommendations to the government regarding appointment, transfer and elevation of judges will henceforth be published on the SC website. The details will also indicate the reasons for making particular recommendations, which will ensure objectivity.
On Friday morning, the SC website added a separate tab for "Collegium Resolutions" for putting information about appointments, transfers and elevation of constitutional court judges.
The October 3 resolution read: "The decisions henceforth taken by the Collegium indicating the reasons shall be put on the website of the Supreme Court, when the recommendation(s) is/are sent to the Government of India, with regard to the cases relating to initial elevation to the High Court Bench, confirmation as permanent Judge(s) of the High Court, elevation to the post of Chief Justice of High Court, transfer of High Court Chief Justices / Judges and elevation to the Supreme Court, because on each occasion the material which is considered by the Collegium is different."
