    The statement that is incorrect regarding the collegium system is that it started in the year 2007: 

    Explanation: The collegium system is a system for appointing and transferring judges in the Supreme Court and High Courts. It evolved over time through Supreme Court judgments, not by an Act of Parliament or by a provision of the Constitution.

    Here are some other facts about the collegium system:

    • The collegium system is headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) and four other senior-most judges of the Supreme Court.
    • The High Court collegium is led by the incumbent Chief Justice and the two seniormost judges of that court.
    • The government can raise objections and seek clarifications regarding the Collegium's choices. 
    • The collegium system has been criticized for having caste bias due to the lack of representation of marginalized communities in the Supreme Court and high courts.
