Supreme Court is likely to pronounce today the verdict on bringing transparency in the collegium system of appointing judges in higher judiciary. The Constitution bench headed by Justice JS Khehar had reserved its order on November 19 after hearing suggestions by various lawyers, bar bodies and associations on improving the collegium system. During the hearing, the Centre had expressed inability before the apex court in formulating the draft Memorandum of Procedure (MOP) for appointment of judges in the higher judiciary.<br/><br/>The bench, while reserving its judgement, had made clear that the process of appointment of judges through the collegium system shall not be put on hold. However, new Chief Justice T S Thakur has recently said that instead of going ahead with the appointments, he would like to see the judgement of the constitution bench.
