Press Communiqué

• A Press Communiqué is an official government notification issued through the Press Information Bureau (PIB) announcing decisions of constitutional importance — most prominently, appointments, transfers, and elevations of judges to the Supreme Court and High Courts by the President.
• It is the formal public instrument by which the Ministry of Law and Justice notifies warrants of appointment signed by the President after the Collegium process.
• For UPSC, it is examinable as the visible end-product of the collegium system, linking Articles 124 & 217 to real-time current affairs.
