grievous governance wounds that bleed the nation are getting sidelined. Most
important among them is the Central Government-Supreme Court impasse on the

appointing judges with the Union Law Minister responding with a counter accusation.
The bone of contention is the Memorandum of Procedure (MoP), which will be the
Rule governing appointment of judges.
