NEW DELHI: The ‘clamour’ for post-retirement jobs among judges is affecting the impartiality of the judiciary, senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said on Sunday. At a conference organized by the party’s legal cell, Jaitley said that post-retirement jobs are being created through judicial verdicts.“Pre-retirement judges are influenced by a desire for a post retirement job,” said Jaitley, adding that he was fully in favour of increasing the tenure of judges or supporting pensions equal to last drawn salaries.Jaitley was backed by his party president Nitin Gadkari , who called for a cooling-off period of two years for judges after retirement.“For two years after retirement there should be a gap (before appointment), because otherwise the government can directly or indirectly influence the courts and the dream to have an independent, impartial and fair judiciary in the country would never actualize," he said. “I say this with a lot of responsibility that even before they retire, it is decided for Supreme Court and high court judges as to which Commission they will go and join,” he added.The statements from BJP leaders comes close on the heels of allegations made by Gadkari that besides the CBI, the government is now using the judiciary as well to “blackmail” opposition parties. Jaitley spoke in favour of creating a National Judicial Commission which would have representatives of the judiciary, government and society to look after matters related to appointments and complaints against judges.“The tendency of the judges to follow the ballot box, the tendency of the judges to get carried away with the times, has to be avoided,” Jaitley he said, adding that judiciary had not been receptive to complaints of corruption against the government in Andhra Pradesh.
