Litigant cannot have any role in appointment of judges: Ram Jethmalani

Stating that "a litigant cannot have any role in the appointment of judges," senior lawyer Ram Jethmalani on Saturday favoured collegium system for "protection" of judges from corrupt politicians. "A litigant can’t have any role in appointment. The government is the biggest litigant against whom the poor has to fight. The poor require a completely impartial, learned and non-prejudiced judge," Jethmalani told PTI on the sidelines of 4th student parliament at G H Raisoni auditorium.
