The problem needs to be addressed by reforming the system and implementing the new solution at the earliest. The Collegium System gives a lot of autonomy to the Judiciary and makes it unaccountable. The Act solved the problem of making the Judiciary accountable but at the same time undermines the Doctrine of ‘Separation of Powers’ violating the Constitution. Both the ‘Collegium System’ and ‘NJAC Act’ lacked transparency. The issue that arises is, neither the ‘Collegium System’ nor the ‘NJAC Act’ provides the solution to the problems faced by the Judiciary in the appointment of the Judges. Later in 2015, the NJAC was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 2014, National Judicial Appointment Commission (NJAC) was established. Article 124A was inserted in the Constitution of India through the 99 th Amendment, which created the provision of formulating the NJAC Act. In India, Judges are appointed through the ‘Collegium System’. For the Judicial System to remain uninfluenced, the appointment of Judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts should be free from political influences. It is important that the Judiciary remains uninfluenced from any political dynamics. Undoubtedly, our Courts continue to deliver justice and punish the guilty. In India, the Courts are seen as the place of highest justice. Judiciary is the last resort for any aggrieved person, whose legal rights have been violated, to plead for ‘Justice’.
