About Supreme Court Collegium
It has no place in the Indian Constitution.
What does the Constitution actually prescribe?
Article 124 deals with the appointment of SC judges. It says the appointment should be made by the President after consultation with such judges of the High Courts and the Supreme Court as the President may deem necessary. The CJI is to be consulted in all appointments, except his or her own.
Article 217 deals with the appointment of High Court judges. It says a judge should be appointed by the President after consultation with the CJI and the Governor of the state. The Chief Justice of the High Court concerned too should be consulted.
Evolution of the Collegium System
Since the Constitution mandates consultation with the CJI is necessary for appointments to the judiciary, the collegium model evolved.
It has its genesis in a series of three judgments that are now clubbed together as the Three Judges Cases.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
