The Supreme Court today declared the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) unconstitutional and stated that the collegium system of judges appointing judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts will continue. 

The NJAC was supposed to replace the two-decade-old collegium



system of judges appointing judges in the higher judiciary. 

A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Justice J S Khehar had reserved its judgment on July 15 after a marathon hearing for 31 days on the issue of validity of the 99th consitutional amendment and the NJAC Act.
