New Delhi: Centre faced Supreme Court's ire on Thursday as the top court again criticised the government over judicial appointment issues and remarked that Parliament has the right to enact new law but at the same time must adhere to existing legal positions.
A bench led by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul said that it expects the Attorney General to play the role of the seniormost law officer to advise the government on the existing legal position. The court also said the government cannot conveniently cite views of some judges on MoP to oppose Collegium recommendations.
