The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the Constitutional Amendment Bill to scrap the collegium system of appointing Supreme Court and High Court judges and cleared the National Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2014 to regulate the procedure.

The National Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, 2014, was passed by voice vote along with one official amendment. The members also passed the 99th Constitution Amendment Bill, which gives Constitutional status to the proposed Commission, with 367 voting in favour and no one against it. Members of the AIADMK abstained from voting.
