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

NJAC Act 2014 brought by central government through 99th Constitution Amendment. Aim is to smother the appointment in higher judiciary. Lates, Supremecourt stuck down the NJAC Act as violation of constitutional principle of separation of power. Current system - Collegium of Judiciary make suggestion and president give final assent. * (Issue in current system): 1. Lack of transparency in working of collegium. 2. allegation of Nepotism, favouritism on Judiciary.

8. Lack of transparency and high court. most, seat vacant in high court. 4. Corruption: like Justice Yashwant Vishnu house - fire on cash heap. 5. Tussle between Judiciary and executive. * What NJAC can do: 2. Being transparency - balanced role of Judiciary, executive. 2. remove Nepotism and favoritism. selection based on standard merit. 3. tussle Reduce. Principle of check & balance uphoad. vacancies - faster filled. 4. Closed Recommendation, new open for public, scrutiny and people representation scrutiny.

Issues with NJAC: Judiciary power decrease possibility of politicization of appointment. Judges more favour executive or become puppet. Threat: Independence of Judiciary. Reforms in Judiciary are most needed. Countries like OK, USA follow better check & balance in Judiciary. like OK - Independent judicial appointment commission. India should adopt a modified version of NJAC with inclusion and suggestion of Judiciary. It's also duty of Judiciary to bring much needed reforms in Judiciary appointment.
