Justice Balakrishnan, who has consistently maintained that the office of CJI should be kept out of the purview of RTI Act, disagreed with the view that he wanted immunity from ambit of the transparency law. <br/><br/>The CJI, whose three-and-half-year tenure, witnessed some controversies including that on the proposed elevation of Karnataka High Court Chief Justice P D Dinakaran, was of the opinion that the procedure for appointment of SC judges could be reviewed for a better alternative. <br/><br/>However, he refused to be drawn into controversies relating to Justice Dinakaran, whose elevation to the apex court was dropped, saying Parliament has already started impeachment proceeding against him. <br/><br/>Justice Balakrishnan said the thinking process is there to deal with the errant judges and government is in the process of bringing Judicial Accountability Bill which is before the select committee of Parliament.
