‘Favouritism, Casteism’: Judge Accuses Collegium Over Appointments
Pandey alleged that when the appointment of the relatives of some senior judges to the high court fails, they are appointed in the subordinate judiciary. He also criticised the Supreme Court's 2015 judgment, rejecting the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act which sought to give transparency in the appointment of judges to the highest courts. Invoking the 2018 press conference of the four Supreme Court judges against the then Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, Pandey said, “The event muddled the judiciary's image,” according to Hindustan Times. Concluding his letter, Pandey iterated that the loopholes in the practice discourages capable advocates from humble backgrounds, urging PM Modi to establish a system which facilitates even a person from an ordinary background to become the Chief Justice of India with hard work and determination. According to Hindustan Times, Supreme Court lawyer Viplav Sharma termed Pandey's letter “extraordinary,” as the judges usually exercise restraint from criticising their own.
