The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed the the Constitutional amendment bill and the National Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, 2014 to scrap the collegium system of appointing Supreme Court and high court judges.
The bill will now be introduced in Rajya Sabha where the BJP lacks majority.
The Congress is expected to create hurdles in the upper house and demand amendments in the present bill.
The voting was conducted after the Narendra Modi government, which was keen to scrap the existing collegium system, on Monday introduced a Constitution Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha to establish a six-member body for appointment of judges to the Supreme Court and the High Courts.
