The National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) was a proposed organisation that would have been in charge of hiring, appointing, and transferring judges, attorneys, and other legal employees for the Indian federal government and all of its state governments. The NJAC was put out to take the place of the higher judiciary’s two-decade-old collegium method of appointing judges. However, in 2015, the Indian Supreme Court ruled that the NJAC was illegal.
