Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju informed the Rajya Sabha that the Department of Justice receives complaints against sitting and retired Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts

Kiren Rijiju said that there is a small number of retired judges and activists who want the judiciary to play the role of an opposition party.

Kiren Rijiju said that Rahul Gandhi has turned into a severe threat to the unity of India and is now provoking people to split the country

Kiren Rijiju lamented how the Indian Judiciary is routinely criticised on social media, often using abusive language.

"As per the relevant provisions under the Constitution of India, the following Judges are appointed as Chief Justices of different High Courts. I extend best wishes to all of them!" Kiren Rijiju said in the tweet. 

The Supreme Court of India, in the exercise of the powers conferred on it under Article 145 of the Constitution of India, makes rules for regulating the Court's practice and procedures which includes its sittings and vacations, etc.

The appointment of judges, which has been under the purview of the Supreme Court collegium or panel of senior most judges since 1993, has been a point of contention for the central government over the years.

On Sunday, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju asserted that the majority of people have the same "sane views" as a retired High Court judge who stated that the Supreme Court has "hijacked" the Constitution by choosing to nominate judges on its own.

The Union Minister alleged that they "lower" the country's dignity and image to any extent to "please their moral masters". Taking to Twitter, Rijiju said that minorities in the country are moving ahead positively. 

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has written to Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, recommending that government representatives be included in the 25-year-old Supreme Court-created two-tiered collegiums to enhance openness.
