Centre tells court there is no 'disquieting feature' in Goel's appointment

Attorney General R. Venkataramani told the bench there was nothing disquieting about the appointment, that a selection mechanism and criteria existed, and that panels are drawn from a database of Secretary-rank officers. In the judgment the Court recorded his submission that there is a 'dearth' of officers who could serve a full six-year term.
