In light of recent developments, the Collegium system and the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act, 2014 has once again come under scrutiny. Do you think that a NJAC-like body can make judicial appointments more transparent, broad-based, and accountable? Justify your answer.

The recent controversy of Justice Jagtowere Varma and criticism cast found at his official residence cast light on lack of judicial accountability and system of 'j[illegible]pponentment'. (1) struck down decision justifying independent judiciary (2) against separation of power detractive 2014 (3) executive equality hindering judiciary pruning judiciary (4) judicial independence integrity: Part of basic structure

NJAC like body to hale appointments transparent/accountable. 1. The renewed NJAC should ensure judicial independence by giving judicial training but not absolute exclusivity. It will help bring clear reccommendation with exclusive being a part. 2. address the 'vicious syndrome' of nepotism, favortism => of nepotism, favoritism. 3. address the 'uncle syndrome' of nepotism, favoritism => of neoptism, favoritism. 4. Merit based appointments - based in judgment of judges of service etc. 5. faster appointment => less vacancies reduce the pending of cases. 6. bring the appointments closer to public and more representative.

challenges: (1) lack of consensus on NJAC without. (2) judicial accountability without judicial independence is phased importer => justice Kirthayas importer. (3) safeguarding is present. WAY FORWARD 1. Renewed NJAC with SC primary and executive in lieu of Cadre Model. 2. Build consensus on the matter in Parliament. 3. Social Movements also can be a way forward just like in USA giving CORRUPTION. No one is above law. Omitting without law responsibility and accountability is just imperity.
