Which constitutional amendment established the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), which was later struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The 99th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2014 was enacted to establish the National Judicial Appointments Commission to replace the collegium system of appointing judges. The Supreme Court struck it down in October 2015, ruling that it infringed upon the independence of the judiciary, which forms part of the basic structure of the Constitution. Other amendments listed deal with distinct subjects like the Goods and Services Tax or municipal administration. The collegium system continues to govern judicial appointments in India.
