NJAC

Sir, Is the proposed NJAC inclined more towards executive or judiciary?

We are hearing different versions

perceived to be towards executive & that is y Judiciary is kind of anti to it. Judiciary was happy with collegium system as they had d major role in selecting d judges

When the parliament has impeachment option

Why are they interested in NJAC again?

see impeachment option comes when u want remove someone...but what about appointing someone ?

But as mentioned,Collegium is secretive and non-transparent

Where as SC has been advocating transparency in all

Is it not applicable to it'being fair?

no no.... we are not supporting collegium; just giving d opinion to ur query "NJAC inclined towards"

infact govt said collegium system will not be brought back even if NJAC Act is struck down, which was not taken lightly by SC

Sir,which should be a right approach in your view?

if u look at d NJAC & compare it with collegium system, of course NJAC would be better.

Sir,How do other democracies appoint their judges?

US - President have the constitutional power to nominate justices....Under the Constitution, the Senate has the authority to consent to or reject appointees

UK - Justices are appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister, who receives recommendations from a selection commission

NJAC is some what similar to this one
