It rejected contentions that the pool of candidates suggested the judicial nature of the positions and selection would have to be done with minimal involvement of the executive. The legislative intention was to create quasi-judicial tribunals that would not “supplant but supplement the existing judicial system”. Further, non-categorisation of applicants for particular posts was not a material flaw which would call into question the validity of the selection process, particularly since the appointments made were from the recommendations of the select committee.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Madras Bar Association v.
