The Constitution (98th Amendment) Bill is related to:
✓ Correct answer: b) the Constitution of the National Judicial Commission
ExplanationThe 98th Constitutional Amendment Bill was introduced in India to reform the judicial appointment process by establishing a National Judicial Commission (NJC).The NJC was proposed to replace the existing collegium system, which had been criticized for its lack of transparency and accountability in selecting judges.The Commission would have included the Chief Justice of India, senior judges, and members from the executive, ensuring a more inclusive and structured process for judicial appointments.However, the proposed amendment did not come into effect, as it was struck down by the Supreme Court, which upheld the collegium system in its 2015 judgment.Probably UPSC has mistakenly used word ‘Act instead of bill’.102
