| Despite a clear Constitutional mandate, the appointment of Judges in practice remains a complex process. There has been an extensive debate over the appointment procedure of judges which has seen alterations in actual practice. At present, the appointment at the Supreme Court and the High Court follows a collegium model, which is a judicial creation through case-laws, even though not constitutionally mandated. Under the collegium model for appointment of judges of the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of India consults four senior most judges of the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice of India sends his recommendations to the Union Minister of Law and Justice, who then puts up the same to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will then advise the President. |
