Furthermore, after the 44th amendment the Janta Dal govt. or NDA govts. could have abrogated it, but they didn't which speaks for itself that AIJS is something that all parties can get behind.

NITI Ayog reiterated it's commitment for the same in "Strategy for New India @75".
Her excellency, Draupadi Murmu had advocated for the same.
The 50th CJI infamous Dr. DY Chandrachud had also supported the proposal; both before and after his retirement.
Former Chairman of Rajya Sabha and eminent lawyer Jagdeep Dhankar was one of it's avid pushers.
Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, former Bombay HC Justice Chavan also called for AIJS this year.
AIJS
The argument that language will be a barrier and local representation will be overshadowed can also be made for bureaucrats (selected for All India Services) who can be either PHD holder or a mere degree holder from a dummy college; with exceptional command over a discipline to mere jack of all trades, master of none.

At the present time Collegium system and their mode of appointment of judges to HC, SC or even elevation is marred with- nepotism controversy, transparency issues, inconsistency and unwillingness of Centre that pauses it for years.
What is everyone's opinion on AIJS?
