Constituent Assembly Debates. Official Report Tuesday 24th May 1949

1949

Again Sir in the United States of America the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is appointed by the President on the advice and with the consent of the Senate. [...] I have already provided that the initiative shall be entirely that of the President which means that the ExecAtive shall have the right to suggest the names but out of the names it will be the Assembly the joint session of both the Houses which will choose the name they think proper by the two-thirds majority in a proper manner. [...] After consultation with the Governor the President should make the appoinment with the concurrence of the Chief Justice of India." This procedure would obviate the need for the Chief Justice of the High Court discussing the matter with the Premier and the Home Minister and justify his recommendations before them. [...] 'Every Judge of the High Court shall be appointed by the President by a warrant under his hand and seal on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of the High Court after consultation with the Governor of the State and with the concurrence of the Chief Justice of India.' " Further it is stated: The foregoing applies mutatis mutandis to the appointment cf the Judges of the Supreme Court. [...] I do feel Sir that the age of retirement of the High Court Judges should be raised to sixty-two or sixty-three and that of the Judges of the Supreme Court should be raised to sixty-eight as recommended by the Federal Court and the Chief Justices of the various High Couris of India.
