As far as the collegium system is concerned, it can be understood as a forum that consists of the Chief Justice of India and four other senior judges of the Supreme Court. This collegium decides the appointment and transfer of the judges by creating a file of opinions upon the appointment of the recommended person. This recommendation is sent to the Law Minister, who further sends it to the Prime Minister in order to advise the President of India. In the case of the High Court Judges, the recommendation of the Collegium is sent to the Chief Minister, who further sends it to the Governor, ultimately reaching the Union Law Minister.
