Supreme Court today said, there should not be a deadlock in appointment of judges. In an open court hearing, a three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice Thakur accused the government of trying to stall the appointment procedure of Judges.<br/><br/>Chief Justice said, that no action has been taken for the past nine months since a Constitution Bench scrapped the NJAC law and asked the government to frame a new Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) for Judicial Appointments.<br/><br/>While the Centre argued that non-finalization of MoP for appointment of judges is hindering the process, the apex court dismissed it and said it could not be the ground as the Centre had committed that process of appointment will continue without the finalisation of MoP. The court said finalisation of MoP has nothing to do with the ongoing appointment process in judiciary.
