Necessary disclosure: The Hindu Editorial on Supreme Court Collegium resolutions quoting IB, RAW reports

The Hindu  

There is nothing wrong, or that warrants grave concern, as claimed by Union Law Minister, Kiren Rijiju, in the Supreme Court Collegium disclosing portions of reports by intelligence agencies on prospective candidates for judicial appointments. It is difficult to agree with the assumption that reports by the Intelligence Bureau and the Research and Analysis Wing on names recommended or considered by the Collegium are inherently sensitive in nature. In the three recent instances, there is no startling revelation in the intelligence reports concerning lawyers whose names have been recommended for appointment in different High Courts; nor is there any sensitive information that could compromise the identity of officers or their undercover work. In fact, it is questionable whether the government should quote intelligence reports in its communications with the Collegium.
