Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, keeping his views in support of the collegium system, said that it is a complex and transparent process. We first look at the merit of the contenders for the appointment of judges. After this, study the decisions taken by them. Their seniority is also taken into consideration. The collegium also sees how much openness is there at the level of gender, community, minority in the claimant. He told that if any recommendation comes from the High Court, its file is sent to the Supreme Court, Central Government, State Government. ,
