INTRODUCTION
Judiciary is an important part of the country; it has capability to move forward the
country as well as to shift backward. Judiciary is one of the main organs of the nation.
In the project, I will be dealing with the appointment of judges because
judiciary cannot be without judges. Judges plays an important role in the developing
good atmosphere among the people of the countrymans. So, in order to have

knowledge and integrity.

(NJAC).

systems and also about the advantages and disadvantages over one another.
