This is because Parliament comprises around 800 members (543 in the Lok Sabha and 250 in the Rajya Sabha), and yet many constitutional amendments and laws are declared unconstitutional or upheld by narrow majorities such as 3:2 or 4:3. Therefore, the appointment of every single judge becomes critically important, as they wield power comparable in effect to that of hundreds
