How did the S.P. Gupta case balance the roles of the executive and the judiciary in judicial appointments and transfers?
It gave the executive complete authority
It excluded the executive from the process
It ensured that the executive had some say, but not at the expense of judicial independence
It made the CJI the sole decision-maker
The case struck a balance by affirming that the executive should have some say in appointments and transfers, but not to the detriment of judicial independence. hence option c is correct.
