Q. Which among the following appointments made by the president of India, have been the most controversial issue ever since our constitution came into force?
Answer: Appointment of the Judges of the High Courts
Notes: The appointment of Judges of the High Courts has been a controversial issue in India due to the conflict between the executive and judiciary over the selection process. The Supreme Court's 1993 judgment in the "Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association vs. Union of India" case established the "Collegium System," where a group of senior judges recommends appointments, limiting the President's discretion. This has led to debates about transparency, accountability, and the influence of the judiciary in the appointment process, making it a contentious topic in Indian politics.
