122As regards the circumstances in which decisions to appoint judges to the Sąd Najwyższy (Supreme Court) are made, the Court has already had occasion to state that the mere fact that the judges concerned were appointed by the President of the Republic does not give rise to a relationship of subordination of those judges to the latter or to doubts as to the judges’ impartiality, if, once appointed, they are free from influence or pressure when carrying out their role (judgment in A. K. and Others, paragraph 133 and the case-law cited).
