It is insulated from public gaze and public audit. While there is a separation of powers among the three organs of the state (the Parliament, the Executive and the Judiciary), there is no gainsaying that the judiciary, by virtue of its independence, has no requirement of public audit of its work and conduct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eIt is imperative today, perhaps more than ever before, to examine whether judges are accountable to the polity of the nation and whether their work upholds constitutional standards. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eJudicial appointments to the higher courts have, over time, been effectively appropriated by a judicial coup via the collegium system. The increasing saffronisation of the higher judiciary poses a serious challenge to its impartiality and constitutional ethos. The elevation of certain judges and their public utterances have raised concerns about threats to the secular and plural foundations of the Indian society. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eJustice K.
