Arun Jaitley on appointment of judges:
- Any collegium is as good as its members
- Judicial activism is welcome but activism and restraint are two sides of the same coin.
- Supreme Court is not infallible but it is final.
- Above the Supreme Court there is God and God doesn't correct judgements
- Activism, restraint two sides of the same coin
- Supreme Court can't have an economic policy
- Courts can enlarge jurisdiction, legislatures can't
- Nobody can check the jurisdiction of courts
- We're going too far now in creating post-retirement jobs
- Temptation to occupy a Lutyen's bungalow is very serious
- Fees of a college is an accountant's job, not of retired judges
