All India Judicial Service
All India Judicial Service is a proposed judicial service in India.[1][2]
History
The proposal for an All India Judicial Service was first suggested in the Chief Justices' Conference in 1961 as a way to remove any scope for judicial or executive intervention in the appointments to the judiciary in the High Courts and the Supreme Court in India. The idea had to be shelved after some states and High Courts opposed it.[2]
The Constitution was amended in 1976 in midst of the Emergency to provide for an AIJS under Article 312. The entire amendment was struck down by the Supreme Court for undermining the independence of judiciary, which it intepreted as violating the Constitution's basic structure. The proposal was again floated by the ruling UPA - II government in 2012 but the draft bill was shelved again after opposition from Chief Justices of the High Courts who labeled this an infringement of their independence.
