Judicial appointments reform: national commission proposed to recommend nominees, broadening selection and enhancing transparency in judicial selection. A constitutional amendment proposed creating a National Judicial Appointments Commission via new Articles 124 A to 124 C to recommend appointments to the Supreme Court and High Courts, replacing the existing Memorandum of Procedure shaped by judicial interpretation of 'consultation' as 'concurrence.' The Commission would include judicial, executive and eminent person participation, be empowered to prescribe selection procedure by regulation, and Parliament would be able to legislate appointment procedure; the scheme aimed to increase transparency, objectivity and accountability in judicial appointments and was later declared unconstitutional.
