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.

- 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.
