“The JAC recommended them when the prime minister asked for more than one name for the position,” the source told FMT
Section 26 of the JAC Act states the nine-member commission would submit a report to the prime minister recommending the candidate with their reasons
Section 27 also states that the prime minister can request for two more names for his consideration
Section 28 states that when the prime minister has accepted the person proposed, he may proceed in accordance with Article 122B of the Federal Constitution
That provision states the king appoints judges, including the top four judicial administrators, on the advice of the prime minister, after consulting the Conference of Rulers
