Press Trust of India Admitting that there is a “difference of opinion” between the government and the judiciary on the creation of an all-India judicial service, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Monday there is a “compelling” need to have a centralised selection process to appoint members of the lower judiciary.
He also made it clear that the Centre not want to encroach upon the autonomy of the high courts as far as the subordinate judiciary is concerned.
Prasad had last week pitched for a national-level entrance test for “talent infusion” into the subordinate judiciary.
He had said the all-India examination would allow the pool of talented young lawyers who graduate every year from national law universities to be part of the subordinate judiciary.
