Abstract

This article explores the viability of the selection of distinguished jurists and scholars as judges in the Supreme Court of India. Deriving inspiration from foreign jurisdictions such as the United States, the founding father(s) of the republic envisioned distinguished jurists as adjudicators on the bench of the apex court, and a provision to that effect was duly incorporated in the Constitution. However, the vision remains unrealized till today. This article questions the intent of the judge makers in the light of various juristic and academic developments in the country and professes that time has riped to make this constitutional provision functional.
