Arjun Ram Meghwal, the minister of union law, has suggested resurrecting the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) in 2025, this time free from veto authority for government officials. The Supreme Court declared the first NJAC Act of 2014 invalid in 2015 since it compromised court independence. Including a six-member panel of judges, renowned persons, the Law Minister, and an Opposition representative, Meghwal’s revamped framework seeks to reconcile openness and autonomy. Part of a larger judicial reform program, this action is under examination by the court and political opposition, casting doubt on its viability in India’s changing political and legal scene.
