Karan Thapar never disappoint but what a humble former chief justice he is .

Justice was such a magnanimous person. He took questions with a brave heart and mind.

Fantastic interview. Take a bow, Justice Lalit and Mr. Thapar.

Wow! Debate at its best.... remarkable journalism from Karan Thapar and outstanding humbling and diplomatic answer by Justice Lalit.

Happy to pay a subscription fee to Mr. Karan Thapar in addition to the wire subscription. His interviews are a learning experience in many different ways

It's all going on with the peak of the knowledge. Both are the stalwarts like Himalaya and it's a great treat. Worth listening again and again...

50 Families ruling SC Talented people left out to become CJI. People with no talent & wisdom coming to Judges. People with few Caste in system. No fair competition to chose CJI. just recommendation No representation of Majority Population. Gogoi went to RS Just. Misra praises Govt in power. But But But.... According to Just. Lalit COLLEGIUM SYSTEM IS PERFECT. Wow the institution which is given responsible for Justice is itself faulty. 👏👏👏👏👏

I learned a lot from this interview. Thanks!

Excellent interview! Great work Mr. Thapar, Keep going. 😊

Absolute brilliant journalism, absolutely brilliant CJI. Covered a lot in a short time in a fruitful manner.

TQ so much dear respected former chief justice of India UU lalit ji 💐💐

Dear Karan Sir.. You never spare anyone.. It's really a privilege to see your questionnaire to the invited guests..

1. Collegium system is Worst. 2. No discussion on Accountability 3. No discussion on Pathetic Performance and pending cases 4. No discussion on Uncalled for, overreaching Observations

They are running a modern,polished form of monarchy in the Supreme Court. 99% of supreme court justices are the sons and daughters of justices or Advocates of High Courts or Supreme Court. The talents from the district courts retire in the districts and a handful of them get to the High Courts.. And that too for so brief period of time that they can't reach the apex court where the seats are reserved for the Rajkumars and Rajkumaris of the monarchy.

Gem of an interview Justice Lalit and Karan Thapar both have absolute clarity over the choice of words. Pleasure to listen to the two🙌

Master piece of journalism

It’s a paradox Karan ! Seeking such transparency from judiciary while executive and media are nothing but opaque and blunt. I think collegium helps in upholding separation of power.

Good discussion. Ex CJI's replies are very were informed and balanced. Coming to the Judges appointments any system can have some imperfections and no system is perfect. Collegium system also may have some imperfections. But still it's better than the NJAC system. Some say there is transparency in collegium system. No system is fully transparent. In what other selections fulldetails are released to public. Separation of powers is paramount for democracy. If higher judiciary is also appointed by the executive then it would be compromised judiciary. Then people will suffer. That's why collegium system inspire of alleged imperfections may still be better than other presently proposed methods. If govt wants it can try to bring some improvements in the current system.

One of the best interviews by Thappar sir.

'When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean' - brilliant!

Excellent interview Good work by honarable Justice UU Lalit

Amazing! Just amazing! Such a privilege to witness class apart journalism in practice.

Phenomenal session...

Just some thousand views on such an honest and valuable interview and lakhs of views on debates that can't even be called a debate clearly shows where our country is going

Terrific interview.

Justice Lalit your values are an inspiration for all.

Just an amazing interview 🙌

We need to create Indian Constitution and judicial system literacy in the society. It should percolate…

At @20:07 of this video,when Justice U U Lalit was mentioning the criteria for the appointment of justices,he should have been allowed to complete listing all the criteria.However,he was interruped before that,when Mr.Thapar raised his argument over the viability of the first criteria Justice Lalit mentioned.This could have been avoided.This interruption from Mr.Thapar has deprived me as your viewer( i.e as a viewer of the wire) about learning on the criteria considered for appointment of judges. I'll appreciate if my view can be considered.

great .kudos for the way it was conducted and hats off to former CJI U U Lalitji

Always great to listen CJI UU Lalit. Very meaningful to me

I wished former CJI Justice Lalit had gotten a longer tenure.. the Supreme Court needs to address it's challenges. The independence of judiciary should also mean the independence of Judges.

प्रशंसनीय संवाद.... जय भारत

Interview of Justice Lalit is of the calibre that years back made me a fan of KT..but when bias steps in, the charm of purity is the first casualty and distaste sets in! The patience evident in Justice Lalit is exemplary and makes him a role model for most of us! Post interview, a question arise.. how can anybody or any collection go for godly self-promotion..that itself sounds as going against the rule of natural law!

The best interview by intellectuals and worth listening; learning

Interesting interview to watch 😉

Excellent interview

Fitting response to govt

Indian judiciary is ridiculed for its decision in the case of Babri-RJB in which the judgement was given on the basis of faith as against evidences. Indian supreme court must be by far the only court in the world to hold this dubious record.

Why should judges of collegium system should waste valuable time in selecting judges of High court and supreme courts, instead of deciding the pending cases.

Wow!what a interview

Karan thapper one the best and genuine journalist..

Very interesting conversation. Throughout the march of time, human beings have tried to create perfect systems of governance for dealing justly with the affairs of state and its citizens. But systems can only be as good as the people in charge of them, and the human creature is fallible and prone to err. Of course, some individuals have proved themselves to be morally and intellectually superior to others, but attainment of perfection in any area of activity in this world is impossible. Yet, our attempts and ambitions to create utopia will continue. Such is life !

Since Justice Lalit represented Hon'ble Minister Amit Shah, I thought he would favour the Government. However, he turned out to be a honest and upright CJI. It is pity that he served as CJI for only couple of months.

Lalit sir deserves longer tenure...He is crystal clear in his thoughts 🧡

Mr.Karan Thapar, have watched your interview. Its very interesting n enlightening. Thank you so much.

Mr Thapar, this was a brilliant interview! Against a legal luminary of the calibre of the ex-CJI, not only have you held your own but very incisively brought out the real issues in this NJAC vs Collegium debate, enlightening the viewers, without ruffling his feathers! To his credit, he has responded to your intense grilling patiently and as candidly as possible! Excellent jugalbandi!

What a Extraordinary person of Mr Lalit how patience he has in listening and answering.

it was an enlightening interview.

The process of selection and the promotion in judiciary in India is flawed and rigged. Specially the collegium system . It needs to change immediately. Why not assess any judge after every 10 judgements he makes ? If it’s found out that majority of his judgements are changed in the higher courts - does not it say that he is not capable of being a judge ? No accountability? What is this? ?? Why the SC does not allow a nation wide competitive test to be a judge just like any civil services test, of course with few years of practice behind . And one more needs to be added - psychological tests such as Aptitude tests. Why not transparency on their assets? Should they not be assessed in every few years and fired if not you to satisfaction - coded criteria to be decided

Very good Journalist 🌾 🙏

I'm Sold to Shri Thapar, Morally for his extremely brilliantly logical views/interview with former CJI UULalit. An excellent and Apt application of the Dictionary meaning of the word CUNSULTATION vis a vis CONCURRENCE. How true " Judges are NOT the masters of Language ". The issue of correct interpretation/meaning of the impugned word must be sorted out either by SC or Parliament sooner than later.

Pls donate, ever drop counts!

Supreme court is the custodian of the constitution Independent working of the supreme court is the essence of healthy democracy Political interference hampers the working of supreme court and it should be checked strictly Independent working of the supreme court should be supported by all parties concerned for quality juidice prudence

Master of the roster's selected bench cancelled GN Saibaba's bail. And AM's advocate UU Lalit is an honourable man 👨

Let talented minds quarrel, so that average minds can live. What's the use of a perfect state when it is not interested in public?

Any institution which does not have a reservation, then it is fully reserved for upper-caste people with some nominal exceptions to show the diversity

Karan Thapar, you are just awesome, I can listen you hours and hours

All corruption cases should not be listed in judiciary which is also suffering from malaise of corruption. Swift and corruption free independent system should be on lines of lokayukta. Then only few cases will be left.

Karan Thapar is one of the best journals who put questions fearlessly. 👏

1. In several High Courts some lawyer(s) is/are more influential than others and the capacity to influence derives its strength from family background, proximity to Senior judge(s), and some time financial capacity. Collegium system encourages this nepotism. 2. Some of the nominated judges may have their family' s interest in some business such as running unrecognised medical/engineering /law colleges etc. Collegium does not have access to such irregularities and Govt in executive has such secret data and Govt should have the power to disagree with the recommendations of Collegium. An excellent discussion by Karan. Hats off to you.

What a learned judge

There is a factual error by lordship at 26:20. Justice Kureshi had not retired when the next meeting of the collegium took place in which 9 judges had been elevated to the Supreme court.

Thank you.

Oh my judge Loya, no one stood by you. Judiciary is gone with Loya, like gone with the wind. Yeah they always speak great after retirement.

The ex CJI has been very honest in this interview I must say…

Indian judiciary is the most un-diversified judiciary in the world. The minority bammans are found disproportionately high in higher judiciary and the resultant mess is there for all to see; communal, caste biases are a given. What else can happen when ppl from castes known for lack of judicial character and integrity dominate the judiciary. The collegium system perpetuates the casteist character of the judiciary because of ample scope for cronyism. The anti egalitarian character of the indian judiciary got exposed when it deliberately fixed the cap of 50% to reservations when it came to giving reservations to obc’s but when it came to extending reservations to their caste-cronies under EWS they blatantly removed the cap of 50%. It’s high time every castes and community gets a fair share of representation in the indian judiciary in the interest of justice …..

The system of elevation of high court judge is opaque.some of the persons who could not have qualified civil judge junior division examination have become High court judges because of the liking of the chief justice of High court.

Now it will be done, as now virtual Court proceedings has diminished the idea.

It is very unfortunate that such Judge like UU Lalit were our CJI for a very short period. This is unfair and it is the right time to evolve a new system for tenure as said by AP Shah "fixed tenure based on Seniority"

The former CJI is very respectful.

Judges full of Hypocrisy - You can't appoint yourselves and say this is the nearly perfect system. Get rid of them today.

Awesome Karan Thapar sir

Proof of India SC cheif judges modesty and capacity

Independence of Judiciary without Justice as perceived by common people? Self appointment does not mean independence. There must be independent body on recruitment. Anti National Judges must be removed.

No ,it benifits only the few selected from a class of society,Not giving equal opportunities to all competent Indians to head any National Institute....Why CJI of SCI should be an exception.
