Which Amendment created the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) in India?
99th Amendment
The 99th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2014, established the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) to replace the collegium system for appointing judges to the Supreme Court and High Courts.
However, in 2015, the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judges Case struck down the 99th Amendment and the NJAC Act as unconstitutional, restoring the collegium system.
Hence, the NJAC was created by the 99th Amendment.
