In 2014, the Indian government established the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) through a constitutional amendment. This would have allowed the government to place political representatives on the commission that evaluates and elevates judges to the High Courts and the Supreme Court.

The prevailing system is the Collegium, where the Chief Justice and senior-most judges of the Supreme Court make the appointments. The justification for introducing the NJAC was to bring more transparency, diversity and involve democratically elected officials in the process.

The Supreme Court struck down the amendment on the ground that the NJAC would threaten judicial independence. The Collegium system was reinstated with measures to increase transparency (such as the public disclosure of the reasons behind selecting judges).
