Judges should never be allowed to be mediocre. They should be the best citizens of the Country.............................. Live Law: What are your thoughts on appointment of Chief Justice of India on the basis of seniority instead of merit?Krishna Iyer J. would not have become a Judge if seniority was the criteria. Professor Upendra Baxi: I think the only basis of appointment is excellence and there is no other way. I speak as a citizen of India. I am a part IVA (Constitution of India) citizen. One of the fundamental duties of a citizen is to develop scientific temper, spirit of inquiry and reform and excellence in all walks of life.Therefore excellence can be the only basis of appointment and mediocrity is an enemy of excellence. All Judges, any judge, must be outstanding. He/she must dread mediocrity and pursue excellence at the command of the constitution. Judges should never be allowed to be mediocre. They should be the best citizens of the Country. livelaw.in/enacting-judicial-appointment-commission-without-consulting-supreme-court-may-lead-constitutional-crisis-prof-upendra-baxi/
