जजों की नियुक्ति कैसे होती है? Collegium System से NJAC तक की कहानी | Explained

In his memoir titled Without Fear or Favour, retired Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look into the internal friction and political pressures surrounding India's Collegium system. Grounded in Justice Kaul’s firsthand account of tense negotiations including his deliberate walkout over controversial vetting criteria and claims of pre-consultations under former CJI D.Y. Chandrachud, this video unravels the intricate power struggle between the judiciary and the executive. From the landmark 'Three Judges Cases' that originally created the Collegium to the striking down of the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), we break down how judges are appointed in India, the persistent criticism around secrecy and representation, and whether this unique selection mechanism remains truly independent.
