FULL TRANSCRIPT
Madam, through you I want to remind the Hon. Law Minister that I supported your (National Judicial Appointments) Bill and five times you gave me thanks in your speech. But the point is that we have the power of legislate but the final interpreter of the Constitution is Supreme Court of India and we have to accept it.
Now Supreme Court has declared the Bill as ultra-vires I am not at all saying that the Hon. Prime Minister or Hon. Chief Minister or Hon. Law Minister should not have anything to say about that. But today this is the country’s problem, this have to be resolved.
You have appointed 126 persons. I agree with that. But at the same time you tell me how many retirements have happened during this year? It is more than 150 or 180. In our High Court there is 50% vacancy. Therefore, I want to ask the Hon. Law Minister what is the recourse you have now taken to resolve the problem and to fill up the all vacancies of the High Courts?
