Amid the ongoing row between the Centre and judiciary over the appointment of judges, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday cited comments by a retired high court judge that the Supreme Court “hijacked” the Constitution by deciding to appoint judges itself and said he considered former judge’s view “sane”. Sharing the interview of former Delhi High Court judge, Justice R.S. Sodhi (retd), Rijiju tweeted, “Voice of a judge… Real beauty of Indian Democracy is- it’s a success."
