As students protest in law varsities, Justice Bhuyan calls for appointment of SC judges from legal academia
Supreme Court Judge Justice Bhuyan highlighted the 76-year failure to implement Article 124(3) of the Constitution, which allows appointment of distinguished legal academics as Supreme Court judges. He emphasized that this reluctance has deprived the top court of brilliant legal scholars. The remarks came amid student protests in law universities demanding judicial reforms. This constitutional provision remains unused since 1950, making it a significant topic for polity and governance sections.
