Sr Adv Arvind Datar: if it is struck down then all these 3 year appointments has to go and it has to be five years. It has to be seen if the validity will be heard first. Today selection by Justice Khanwilkar led committee is over. But none appointed. Now new committee
Datar: Bar is clueless what is going to happen. it is not correct that SC headed committee selects 19 members and 6 only are appointed and rest from the waitlist. Can this be done?
