ABSTRACT
The Collegium System, which the Supreme Court created despite the fact that the Indian Constitution of India does not explicitly provide for, is used to designate judges in order to safeguard against executive interference. However, given the changes to democracy, the Collegium system for selecting judges has failed to operate properly. The Collegium System is briefly explained in the paper, after which follows a discussion of its recent history.
In addition to a comparison of the selection procedures in the UK and the USA, the National Judicial Appointments Commission is also mentioned. A strategy for action and a conclusion are subsequently written. Given the important nature of the national discussion around judge selection, discussing the subject is strongly advised.
