evidence: Besides the disgraced and unconstitutional collegium system, there have been several disparate cases which bring home the judicial lack of accountability. In recent times, it is clearly brought out by the Centre’s information to the Parliament that over 1,600 complaints were received in the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) on the functioning of the judiciary, including judicial corruption, between 2016 and 2021 (PTI, 2021). The mechanism of addressing these complaints against the judiciary is also highly vague. Such complaints are addressed by the judiciary itself through an "in-house mechanism" where the complaints are forwarded to the respective Chief Justices of the High Courts or the Supreme Court. This ‘in-house mechanism’ was created in 1997, wherein the assumption is that the Chief Justice of India or of the respective High Courts are competent to receive complaints against the conduct of judges of the Supreme Court, the Chief Justices of the High Courts and judges of the High Courts.
