Pushing for a 'full court', the Supreme Court Collegium, led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, recommended the names of two judges to the court and rejected the government’s disapproval of the elevation of two others.
About:
If the four judges are elevated without delay, the Supreme Court would reach the full sanctioned judicial strength of 31 judges by the time it re-opens in July after the summer vacations.
The Collegium refused the government’s request to reconsider its April 12 recommendation to elevate Jharkhand High Court and Gauhati High Court Chief Justices Aniruddha Bose and A.S. Bopanna as Supreme Court judges.
The Collegium said their names were recommended after all parameters were considered. The Collegium said there was no reason to agree with the government as there was nothing adverse found in the two judges’ conduct, competence or integrity.
Now, the government is bound to appoint Justices Bose and Bopanna to the court.
