In a petition filed by the 'Centre for Public Interest Litigation', Bhushan had sought the scrapping of the collegium system and appointment of a full-time judicial appointments commission, "independent of the government as well as the judiciary".

Senior Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan on Friday welcomed the apex court verdict declaring NJAC "unconstitutional" and called for establishment of an "independent" commission to regulate judges' appointment.

In a petition filed by the 'Centre for Public Interest Litigation', Bhushan had sought the scrapping of the collegium system and appointment of a full-time judicial appointments commission, "independent of the government as well as the judiciary".

Bhushan, who is founder and leader of  Swaraj Abhiyan  said the apex court judgement came at a time when the NDA government is seeking to "control" various institutions and "attacking" the country's diversity, dissent and freedom of speech.
