Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi said that if at all any delay exists in the appointment of the judges is because of the collegium and not because of Government of India, vindicating the stand of the NDA government regarding non-interference in the judicial process.
A Bench headed by CJI Gogoi blamed the publicity seeking lawyers for not correcting the defects in the review petitions and causing a delay in the hearing.
CM of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal said, “What sort of democracy is this? Why is Delhi government not powerful? How can the opposition run the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB)? How can the government function without power?”
