High Courts asked to find SC/ST members from Bar for post of Judges: Moily to RS

The government on Monday said it has addressed letters to the Chief
Justices of the High Courts from time to time "impressing" upon them
to locate persons from the Bar, belonging to Scheduled caste and
Tribes, Minorities and women among others for appointment as High
Court judges.

Law Minister Veerappa Moily, while replying to a question in Rajya
Sabha asked by Parimal Nathwani (Independent), said empowering of SC,
ST and women is high on government agenda.

He, however, said appointment of Judges of the Supreme Court and High
Courts is made under Articles 124 and 217 of the Constitution of India
respectively, which do not provide for reservation for any caste or
class of persons.

"The government has, however, addressed letters to the Chief Justices
of the High Courts from time to time impressing upon them the need to
locate persons from the Bar, belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled
Tribes, Other Backward Classes, minorities and from amongst women, who
may be suitable for appointment as High Court Judges," Moily said.
