The Supreme Court Collegium has resolved to not undertake any further deliberations on 10 names identified for consideration as apex court judges as the Law Ministry has already sent its request to Chief Justice of India U.U. Lalit to nominate his successor.
Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and S. Abdul Nazeer had objected to the CJI’s proposal to recommend names for appointment as Supreme Court judges through circulation. Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and K.M. Joseph had concurred with the Chief Justice’s proposal, the collegium resolution said.
A collegium resolution, dated October 9 but published on Monday, October 10, narrated the exact turn of events and circumstances which compelled it to leave its work of recommending new judges for the Supreme Court “unfinished”.
