M. Gurumoorthy vs Accountant General Assam & Nagaland & ... on 21 April, 1971
The approval of the President follows the making of the rules, and unless and until rules are made by the Chief Justice of India specifically in regard to salaries, allowances, etc., the President, acting as a constitutional authority, does not and cannot exercise the power of granting or refusing approval. Similar provisions are contained in the Constitution in relation to the High Court (see Article 229). These constitutional requirements are not an empty formality, but are prescriptions required to be strictly complied with to insulate the judiciary from undue executive interference with a view to according it, subject to any law made by the competent legislature, a special position of comparative independence in accordance with the fundamental constitutional scheme of maintaining a harmonious balance between the three organs of State. (See M. Gurumoorthy v. Accountant General Assam & Nagaland and Ors. (1971) Suppl. SCR 420, 429).
