Collegium System For Appointment Of Judges Is Against Equality

Constitutional law By 0

The collegium system allows judges to appoint judges, making it a closed process.
It lacks transparency and accountability, creating chances of favoritism.
This goes against Articles 14 and 16, which ensure equality and equal opportunity.
Judges hold public office, so appointments should be fair and open to all.
Reforms like a Judicial Appointments Commission are needed to balance independence with equality
