How does NJAC feature in the article on Senior Adv. ???

Reply to Atulesh Jha

While this institutional mechanism(as mentioned in the article ) and selection criteria seem suited to substitute the existing collegium system, the executive and the legislature could also seriously consider introducing a new version of the NJAC which incorporates the salient features of this institutional mechanism.
The sooner the judiciary adopts such a mechanism for judges too, the better it is for the institution

specially — pro bono work done by him/her issue … Pro bono criterion for judges too?
Context:

* Supreme Court’s guidelines: a lawyer should have fought a certain number of cases pro bono or free of cost in order to be designated as a senior lawyer

* Government’s decision: a lawyer’s pro bono record should be considered while elevating him or her as a judge.
* Idea needs to be approved by the collegiums:
* Judges to higher courts are appointed by the Supreme Court collegium, — made up of the top five judges of the apex court — and the Law Ministry only has to give its concurrence.
* So, the idea has to be first approved by the collegium before it can be implemented.
