'Not acceptable': Supreme Court vs Central govt over delay in appointment of judges

A two-judge bench reportedly said that keeping names pending for appointment despite reiteration by the Supreme Court Collegium is "not acceptable".

In a fresh face-off between the Supreme Court and the Central government, the top court expressed displeasure over delay by the executive in the higher judicial appointment process.
A two-judge bench reportedly said that keeping names pending for appointment despite reiteration by the Supreme Court Collegium is "not acceptable".
Justices S K Kaul and A S Oka said that the court had earlier clarified that once the government has expressed its reservation and that has been dealt with by the Collegium, only the appointment has to take place after the second reiteration.
The Supreme Court said that the method of "keeping names on hold whether duly recommended or reiterated is becoming some sort of a device to compel these persons to withdraw their names", and this has happened in the past.
A notice was also issued to Central government officials over a petition alleging "wilful disobedience" of the time-frame laid down for appointments by the apex court in April 2021.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer unions rejected the Centre's MSP panel for having “so-called farmer leaders” who supported the now-repealed farm laws as members.

Why farmers' union umbrella body SKM rejected Centre's MSP panel?

As per the Agriculture Ministry&rsquo;s gazette notification, the panel will comprise NITI Aayog member Ramesh Chand, who had said that the repeal of the three farm laws is a &lsquo;setback&rsquo; to higher price realisation by cultivators.

A day after the Centre formed a committee on Minimum Support Price (MSP), the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer unions rejected it for having &ldquo;so-called farmer leaders&rdquo; who supported the now-repealed farm laws as its members.
The committee was finally formed on Monday, eight months after the central government had promised to set up such a panel while withdrawing the three contentious farm laws that saw nationwide protests by farmers with thousands of them camping at Delhi borders for over a year. The committee has been tasked with finding ways to make MSP available to farmers more effectively and transparently while making it a legal guarantee.
&ldquo;Today, we held a meeting of non-political leaders of Samyukta Kisan Morcha. All leaders rejected the government&rsquo;s panel. The government has inducted so-called farmer leaders in the panel who didn&rsquo;t have anything to do with our agitation against the three farm laws at the Delhi borders,&rdquo; said farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar.
SKM further accused the government of including people from the corporate sector in the MSP panel.
As per the Agriculture Ministry&rsquo;s gazette notification, the panel will comprise NITI Aayog member Ramesh Chand, who has in the past expressed his disagreement with the repeal of three farm laws which according to him is a &lsquo;setback&rsquo; to higher price realisation by cultivators.
On legalisation of MSP, he had said in a 2021 interview to Livemint, "Legalizing MSPs spells doom for the crops market and implies takeover of trade by government. Such interventions are fiscally ruinous. It will also kill the entrepreneurial skill of our innovative farmers, robbing them of opportunities to take advantage of emerging demand patterns."
Other members in the panel include agri-economists CSC Shekhar from the Indian Institute of Economic Development, Sukhpal Singh from IIM- Ahmedabad, and senior member of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) Naveen P Singh.
Among farmers&rsquo; representatives, the committee will have national award-winning farmer Bharat Bhushan Tyagi, three members from SKM, and five members from other farmer organisations that include Gunwant Patil, Krishnaveer Choudhary, Pramod Kumar Choudhary, Guni Prakash and Sayyed Pasha Patel.
Two members of the farmers&rsquo; cooperative, IFFCO Chairman Dilip Sanghani and CNRI General Secretary Binod Anand are included in the panel.
Senior members of agricultural universities, five central government secretaries and chief secretaries of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim and Odisha are also part of the committee.

In a significant development, the head of the government's prestigious bullet train project was sacked amid allegations of corruption. Satish Agnihotri was removed as the Managing Director of the National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL), as per news agency PTI.
The action came after a Lokpal court on 2 June 2022, ordered CBI to ascertain if charges of corruption are made out against Agnihotri. It has been claimed that when Agnihotri was CMD of Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd, he struck a quid pro quo deal with a private company.
Agnihotri has also been accused of taking up a job in a private company within one year of his retirement without the Central government's permission.
Agnihotri has challenged the allegations, claiming that he never favoured any companies, and his son did not work in any firm which secured contracts, the PTI report said. Agnihotri has also claimed that he had written to the Central government for waiver of the one year cooling-off period for private employment.
He is a 1982-batch IRSE officer who reportedly has over 20 years of experience in implementation of mega rail projects.
The NHSRCL, which is a joint venture between the Centre and states for bullet train and other high-speed projects, will now be headed by Director, Projects Rajendra Prasad for 3 months.
