Judicial Appointments and Independence
The CJAR has urged the Supreme Court to address concerns regarding the government's selective approach to judicial appointments, emphasizing that the future of an independent judiciary hinges on these practices.

Judicial independence is a cornerstone of democracy, and public discussions around appointments serve to highlight transparency and integrity in governance.

Judges are appointed by not the merit but by the choice of those privileged! Bharat is a country with this kind of judicial system! Is it? If yes, Then it's Hopeless!
Collegium needs to be abolished now.
Honestly priya mam will definitely get a special place / special reward either here or Hereafter ... God bless u mam
Is judiciary truly independent? Even if in the last case, NJAC was held invalid but isn't there need to make some amendment and bring the equality between number of members of executive and judiciary?
Judiciary's independence is most important above all, compromising this is a threat to Indian democracy but every govt. wants to control it.
I'm hoping that they never add any sort of retroactive application of new rules to cases already submitted.
This law came so out of nowhere that, in comparison, it had the same element of surprise as Pearl Harbor.
I would find some way to reduce the inequality caused by the expense of legal representation.
People are mentioning more lawyers and cheap lawyers but I'm thinking that judges are the problem.
