Explanation & Context
While there have been discussions and debates, a significant legal change in 2023 (though enacted later) established a committee including the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and a Union Cabinet Minister. Prior to newer legislation, the process was primarily executive-led, but judicial pronouncements have pushed for greater transparency and wider consultation, including the CJI's involvement in certain advisory capacities or proposed legislation.
