The court system has a Chief Registrar and other registrars whose number is decided by law. The President appoints them, but only after getting advice from the Judicial Service Commission. This means that registrars are chosen based on recommendations from an independent body, not just by the President alone.

There shall be in the judiciary the office of Chief Registrar and such number of registrars as Parliament may by law prescribe.

The Chief Registrar and a registrar shall be appointed by the President on the advice of the Judicial Service Commission.

Article 145 covers the establishment of the office of Chief Registrar and other registrars in the judiciary, along with their appointment process.
