Argument against bringing judiciary under RTI

♤ Collegium discussions can be freewheeling and include the examination of fairly invasive

government intelligence reports and the expression of judges’ personal opinions.

♤ For judges, their credibility and reputation is hugely important, and many feel that the slightest potential slight on this could be debilitating and prevent judges from doing their job.

♤ It may compromise secrecy & security involved in certain cases. This may prove detrimental for our country.

♤ It may compromise independence of judiciary as specified by constitution and may lead to politicization of judiciary.

♤ It may create extra burden on judiciary and delays in judicial appointments & transfers as an over conscious approach may be adopted to avoid conflicts.
