NEW DELHI: Law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said the government has the highest respect for the judiciary, but it has the right to be consulted on the appointment of judges.

"We have the highest respect and regard for the institution of judiciary. We are fully committed for freedom of judiciary," Prasad said.

He was responding to a question on Chief Justice of India RM Lodha's comment that the government had acted unilaterally in segregating the name of former solicitor general Gopal Subramanium from the panel of four names recommended by the collegium for appointment as apex court judges.
