 Three Judges cases                   (UPSC-CSE GS PAPER-2 POLITY)

1) The ‘First Judges Case’ (1981) ruled that the “consultation” with the CJI in the matter of appointments must be full and effective. 

          • However, it rejected the idea that the CJI’s opinion, albeit carrying great weight, should have       primacy.

2) The Second Judges Case (1993) introduced the Collegium system, holding that “consultation” really meant “concurrence”.

           • It added that it was not the CJI’s individual opinion, but an institutional opinion formed in consultation with the two seniormost judges in the Supreme Court. 

3) On a Presidential Reference for its opinion, the Supreme Court, in the Third Judges Case (1998) expanded the Collegium to a five-member body, comprising the CJI and four of his senior-most colleagues.

•The President of India appoints the CJI and the other SC judges. 

•As far as the CJI is concerned, the outgoing CJI recommends his successor.

          - In practice, it has been strictly by seniority ever since the supersession controversy of the 1970s.

          - The Union Law Minister forwards the recommendation to the Prime Minister who, in turn, advises the President.

                                                                   Dark Web What is the Dark Web? The dark web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines and requires special software to access. It is often used for illegal activities, such as buying and selling drugs, weapons, and stolen data. However, there are also legitimate uses for the dark web, such as whistleblowing and political activism. How does the dark web work? The dark web uses a network of computers called Tor to obscure the identity of its users. Tor encrypts traffic and bounces it through a series of computers, making it difficult to trace back to the original source. This makes the dark web an ideal place for people to conduct illegal or sensitive activities anonymously. What can you find on the dark web? The dark web is home to...
