Barkha Dutt speaks to Fali S. Nariman, Constitutional Jurist & Senior Advocate to the Supreme Court, and Sriram Panchu senior advocate and mediation specialist.

Three legal luminaries, Fali Nariman, Justice Madan Kokur and Sriram Panchu, jointly authored an opinion piece in the Indian Express asking the Supreme Court Collegium why it refused to bring Justice S. Muralidhar to the apex court despite his exemplary record as a judge.

"Collegium system has failed," Nariman said while speaking on Justice Muralidhar. "As I have written in my memoirs, this is one case I won, but I wish I had lost," he said referring to an earlier historical win that established the collegium system that is in place today, despite open challenges to it from the Modi government

"Not just this collegium, even the past collegium failed Justice Muralidhar... Judges may be scared of powerful governments, be they of the BJP or Congress"
