What factors contributed to the need for the amendments mentioned in points 1 and 2?
The need for the amendments mentioned in points 1 and 2 seems to be related to a change in the powers or responsibilities of certain officials, specifically with regard to the Chief Justice of India. These amendments were likely enacted to adjust the balance of power within the judicial system, possibly due to perceived imbalances or shifts in authority. However, it is important to note that these amendments were struck down by the Supreme Court in the case of Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association and another vs. Union of India, suggesting that they may have been deemed unconstitutional or otherwise problematic. The exact reasons for the need for these changes are not explicitly stated within the given context.
