"If it (being made Lokpal) is a unanimous choice, then definitely I will accept it," he told PTI.
Justice Sathasivam, who is demitting office tomorrow after nine months as the head of the judiciary, said he was not averse to accepting any position after his retirement like NHRC Chief or Lokpal but that has to be without any controversy and it should be "befitting" for an ex-CJI.
Speaking about the system of appointment of judges, Justice Sathasivam favoured continuing with the present system of collegium for appointments to higher judiciary.
"If a person is included from outside the judiciary they may not be having the knowledge of judiciary and that will not be proper in the selection of judges," he said.
He was replying to a question whether the collegium system should be given up and the executive and the government should have a say in the appointment of judges.
