Abstract

The article "Untangling the Labyrinth of Judicial Appointments in India" discusses the complex and intricate process of appointing judges in the Indian judiciary. The article begins by providing a brief historical background of the Indian judiciary and the appointment process, and then delves into the various constitutional provisions and laws that govern the process.

It highlights the role of the Judiciary Collegium, which is responsible for selecting and recommending candidates for appointment as judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts. It also discusses the controversies and criticisms surrounding the Collegium system, including allegations of lack of transparency and accountability.

This goes on to discuss recent attempts at reforming the appointment process, including the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) Act, which was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2015. The article concludes by arguing that there is a need for greater transparency, accountability, and diversity in the appointment process, and suggests some possible solutions to achieve these goals.
