In an ongoing dispute, the Supreme Court today accused the government of holding up essential appointments of judges, warning "Don't make it an issue of ego".


The government and the top court have been unable to decide on a new process to select judges, with both sides accusing each other to trying to exercise unfair control over the procedure.


"You can't bring the institution to a grinding halt. We are working very patiently. We don't want to have situation where the institution is decimated and courts are locked," said Chief Justice of India TS Thakur.


"You can't sit over on our recommendations. Don't make it an issue of ego," he said to Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi. The case will next be heard on November 11.
