What is the relevance of the Ninety-ninth Amendment Act, 2014 in this context?
The relevance of the Ninety-ninth Amendment Act, 2014 in this context is that it introduced a new system for appointing judges to the Supreme Court and High Courts. The act established the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), which was responsible for recommending individuals for appointment as judges or transfer of existing judges between courts. This amendment aimed to make the process of judicial appointments more transparent and accountable, but it was later struck down by the Supreme Court in 2015.
