Reading Comprehension – Test 161

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of five alternatives. <br><br> Supreme Court's plea to the government to refrain from "interference" in the appointment and transfer of judges and warning that it does not "augur well for the institution" must be heeded. The court's expression of frustration came after several months of patience it exhibited in the matter of elevation of Bombay high court judge Akil Kureshi. The SC collegium had recommended his appointment as chief justice (CJ) of Madhya Pradesh HC in May but with the Centre showing no interest, advocates from Gujarat HC had petitioned SC demanding implementation of the collegium resolution.<br><br> With SC entertaining the petition on the judicial side, the Centre reportedly suggested that Justice Kureshi be appointed CJ of a smaller court following which the collegium obliged and recommended him as chief justice of Tripura HC. Now that Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has forwarded Justice Kureshi's name again, Centre must accept it without any further delay. Government's disagreements with collegium resolutions on judicial appointments and transfers have periodically surfaced following the quashing of the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act in 2015. But the settled position is that though government is entitled to disagree with the collegium, the latter's decision is final and binding. <br><br> This is a position the Centre needs to respect. Indeed SC has gone out of its way to accommodate the Centre's views; it can go no further. The government gains nothing by holding up appointments, and justice in the country suffers as cases pile up in courts. India's Constitution envisages a separation of powers with the judiciary as an independent arm, rather than subservient to the executive's desires. That, indeed, is the way of all democracies. A strong and independent judiciary is government's most effective ally in improving law and order, reducing pendency of cases and dispensing rather than delaying justice.

Which of the following statements is/are not true regarding the passage? <br> A. The Supreme Court disapproves promotion of justice Akil Kureshi. <br> B. The centre did not pay any attention to SC's recommendation for chief justice of Madhya Pradesh HC.<br> C. Matter of elevation of Bombay high court judge Akil Kureshi is pending in the SC.
