Collegium recommendation review will open ‘pandora’s box’: SC

The Supreme Court turned down a judge's appeal to reconsider his promotion, worrying that allowing such reviews could undermine the integrity of the selection process. This decision highlights the court's commitment to maintaining the authority and confidentiality of the collegium system, which recommends judges' appointments. By rejecting the petition, the court aims to avoid setting a precedent that could lead to broader scrutiny of judicial appointments, potentially causing chaos in the judicial appointment process. This ruling underscores the court's dedication to preserving its internal processes and preventing any erosion of judicial independence.
