Kapil Sibal has managed yet again to get all the lime lights by his double standards on the functioning of the Supreme Court of India. The advocate in an interview with ‘journalist’ Swati Chaturvedi slams current Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju for criticizing the collegium system (A system for appointment of new Judges in the apex court). Kapil Sibal has earlier criticized the court over the same issue and his now came in his defence.

In the interview, He said, “As far as the law minister’s attacks are concerned, they are driven by the desire of the government to have the final say in the appointment of judges to the higher judiciary.” He further added “That is simply unacceptable and will be disastrous since future judges will look to the executive for their elevation. The end result will be a committed judiciary; committed to the executive,”.

Kapil Sibal talks about the independence of the judiciary and the need to preserve constitutional values during the interview, he has been at the forefront of casting aspersions on the integrity of the apex court in the past. Earlier in an interview he said “People’s Tribunal on the Judicial rollback of Civil liberties”. During his speech, Kapil Sibal said, “I do not want to talk like this about a Court where I have practised for 50 years but the time has come. If we don’t speak it, who will? The reality is such that any sensitive matter which we know has a problem is placed before certain judges and we know the outcome.”

He further said, “The court where the judges are made through a process of compromise, the court which has no system of who will hear what kind of cases, the court where the CJI decides that this matter will go to this bench, when the case will go, when it will be heard- there is no system- that court can never be independent. ”  He also said in another interview , “When the judiciary turns a blind eye to ex-facie violations of the rule of law one wonders why an institution designed to protect the rule of law allows the rule of law to be infringed with open eyes.”
