The Supreme Court collegium is a "perfectly correct and balanced" way to appoint judges to the top court of the country, former Chief Justice UU Lalit told NDTV on Sunday, after Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju called the system "opaque". "These ("opaque, unaccountable") are his personal views... It's a perfectly, correct and balanced way of doing things. It is a system where every viewpoint is considered," he said in an interview, days after his retirement earlier this week. The comments come two days after the Supreme Court expressed displeasure over the delay by the Centre in clearing the names recommended for appointment as judges in the higher judiciary, including those reiterated by the collegium, and said keeping them pending is "something not acceptable".
