Supreme Court Justice Urges Greater Transparency in Judicial Appointments
Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan has called for greater transparency in the collegium system for judicial appointments, criticizing the lack of reasons in recent resolutions.

Speaking at the launch of a report by the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, Justice Bhuyan emphasized that public disclosure and discussion could help uphold constitutional values and improve trust in judicial appointments.
