Changing of decision not wrong but functioning of Collegium concerning: ex-Judge

Retired justice BK Khan on Wednesday defended the decision of Collegium to change its decision on supersession of three judges while deciding on elevation of Delhi High Court judges to the Supreme Court and asserted that while Collegium reserves right to take such decision, its 'style of functioning is concerning'.Speaking to ANI, he termed the controversy around the functioning of the Collegium as unfortunate and said: "In this case, I do not see much of a red into the changing of decision because Collegium's decision itself indicates that some new material was brought before it, which was not with them in December's first meeting. The nature of the material needs to be seen. In case that material is such which reflects on the candidature of the two Chief justices who were recommended, the change is the decision is definitely unwarranted.""The second question is that the nature of the material should have been disclosed and made public. My view is again not it can't be, transparency .
