New Delhi: The impression that judges appoint judges in India is wrong and the appointment is done through a lengthy consultative process where many stakeholders are consulted, Chief Justice N V Ramana said on Monday. The decisions of the Supreme Court on judicial appointments are aimed at sustaining people's faith and trust, he said and asserted that the selection process cannot be more democratic than it is now. "There is an impression that in India judges appoint judges. It is a wrong impression and I want to correct that. "The appointment is done through a lengthy consultative process. Many stakeholders are consulted. The Executive is one of the key stakeholders," he said at an event here Citing the process of appointment of judges to high courts, he said, "Once the proposal is made by a high court, concerned state government, Governor, the Government of India will examine the proposal before it is sent to the Supreme Court. "The top three judges of the Supreme Court consider the proposal based on inputs given by all the stakeholders. We take the opinion of the Consultee Judge in the Supreme Court also. Many people may not be aware of this," the CJI said. Chief Justice Ramana said the Constitution of India mandates the separation of powers between the three organs of the State where the Judiciary is mandated to review executive and legislative actions and that is why the independence of the judiciary is non-negotiable.
