Highlighted Comments
As a student of law I am not in the favour of collegium system. This system is completely taken over by certain families and their enjoying all perks and privileges.
Judges are appointed not by 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.
There should be proper examination like UPSC for such prestigious positions to stop the benefits availed by certain families in the collegium system.
Shame on CJI. Aise aise kaam kiye hain ki wakeel hi unko public mein jootey maar rahe hain.
