A view of the Supreme Court in New Delhi.
The verdict on NJAC not only restores the credibility of the apex court but also reinforces its ability to introspect.
The judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on Friday striking down the Constitution (99th Amendment) Act, 2014 and the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act, 2014 by a majority of 4:1 is one of the most significant and everlasting contributions made by the Supreme Court restoring not only its credibility in the eyes of the legal profession but also in terms of its ability to openly introspect and notify suggestions for a better process of appointment of Judges.

Gopal Subramanium writes on Supreme Court bench order on NJAC - The Hindu



Basically the Supreme Court slapped the politicians saying nobody can trust you; you will ruin Supreme Court.

Any discussions regarding the current collegium system and its drawbacks can be discussed here. Can anyone explain what is the motive behind NJAC system?

But to be fair,collegium system also has its drawbacks.Judges can now appoint people of similar ideology and political alignment.It has the risk of making the courts an exclusive club of old men.Serious introspection is needed in this matter.

Good work... politicians should be kept out of judiciary.

Personally welcome this decision , usually in other countries this is common practice legislative appointing judicial officials.But in India such is mistrust of politicians, we welcome decision of supreme court.

This proves we trust courts more than politicians we vote every five yrs.

Indian SC is very forward thinking. That's extremely rare for a 3rd world democracy.

Not a good news
Care to explain why? By some horrific chance, if Congress comes to power next with Lalu as law minister, you want to take guesses on the quality of judges selected by NJAC?
