Lawyers move Supreme Court challenging JAC Bill
- 5 years ago
Petitions in the Supreme Court challenging a bill to dramatically change the system of appointing judges have set up a possible confrontation between the government and the judiciary.
The top court is likely to take up on Monday three petitions that oppose the scrapping of the collegium system of five seniormost judges deciding on appointments and transfers in the higher judiciary.
The Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, passed in Parliament last week, replaces the collegium with a panel that will have the Chief Justice of India, two senior Supreme Court judges, the Law Ministe and two eminent persons.
