ABSTRACT

In the case of Govind Singh v. State of Madhya Pradesh (2022), the Supreme Court dealt with concerns over the selection of district judges, highlighting potential procedural flaws and undue executive influence. The raised issues under Article 233 of the Constitution, pointing to a lack of transparency in the recruitment process emphasize the need for judicial independence and adherence to constitutional norms. The Court instructed state to re-examine the appointments, underscoring the vital role of fairness and integrity in judicial selections.
