DETAILS:

- The collegium system involves a group of senior judges who recommend appointments and transfers of judges in the higher judiciary.
- Legislative attempts to reintroduce a system similar to NJAC have not succeeded.
PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable):
- No specific punishment; however, the failure to establish NJAC maintains the status quo of the collegium system.
