The law minister said, making public sensitive reports of RAW or IB is a matter of serious concern.

Amid rising conflict between the government and the judiciary over judicial appointments, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has expressed strong objection to the Supreme Court making public its objections to the candidates recommended for judges.

Last week, the Supreme Court Collegium, headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, made public the government's objections to the elevation of three candidates for judgeship on the SC website.

The Supreme Court had taken the unprecedented step of declassifying the documents of the intelligence agencies - Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) - amid a confrontation with the government over its objections.  

Rijiju said on Tuesday that he would "react at the appropriate time" but clarified his stand on the issue.

Speaking to reporters, the law minister said, "The disclosure of secret and sensitive reports of RAW or IB is a matter of grave concern to which I will respond at an appropriate time. Today is not the appropriate time."
