Judiciary in jeopardy.
The Rajya Sabha unanimously passed the Constitution (99th Amendment) Bill to do away
with collegium system of appointing Supreme Court and high court judges.
The president and the government will appoint judges to the Supreme Court.
With only 59 MPs in the 245-member house, there is no difference when

It was support by 179 out of 180 MPs present in the upper house.
Now the judiciary has become a puppet of politicians. more
