There is no strong disagreement between the executive and the judiciary over appointment of judges, and any "difference of opinion" between the two is mutually settled, the government said today.
Responding to a question in the Lok Sabha on whether the executive and the judiciary were "very strongly disagreeing" over appointment of judges, the government replied in the negative.
"No," Minister of State for Law P P Chaudhary said in his written reply.
He said "differences of opinion, if any, are mutually reconciled by the executive and the judiciary to ensure that only the apposite person is appointed to the high constitutional post of judge."
