Which Amendment to the Constitution Act led to establishment of National Judicial Appointments Commission in India?
99th Amendment
The correct answer is 99 th Amendment.
NJAC Proposal: The NJAC proposed a commission consisting of the Chief Justice of India, two senior-most Supreme Court judges, the Union Law Minister, and two eminent persons nominated by a committee. Supreme Court Ruling: The Supreme Court found the 99 th Amendment and the NJAC Act unconstitutional primarily on the grounds that it undermined the independence of the judiciary, which is considered a basic structure of the Constitution. Therefore, the 99 th Amendment was the one that led to the brief establishment of the National Judicial Appointments Commission, although it was later invalidated.
