New Delhi, Aug 11 (IBNS) Chief Justice of India RM Lodha has endorsed the collegium system for appointing judges even as the government is against it.

"For God's sake don't shake the confidence of people in judiciary," Justice Lodha was quoted in media saying in connection with a petition on  judge KL Manjunath whose promotion as Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court has been challenged by the Centre.

"The collegium system has not failed. I am the person in the first batch appointed as a judge by the collegium system and Justice Rohinton (Nariman) is the last person. If the collegium system has failed then we are all failed," Justice Lodha was quoted saying by NDTV.
