Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud on Wednesday said the Supreme Court Collegium’s discussions among the five senior-most judges of the Supreme Court take place in an atmosphere of camaraderie and transparency.
In an informal chat with reporters at a high tea organised by the Supreme Court before the Diwali vacations, Chief Justice Chandrachud revealed that collegium may start off informally with judges discussing names but turn increasingly detailed and structured as talks proceed.
The Chief Justice said the latest collegium resolution to recommend Delhi High Court Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, Rajasthan Chief Justice Augustine George Masih, and Gauhati Chief justice Sandeep Mehta to take the Supreme Court to its full sanctioned judicial strength of 34 judges was finalised quickly.
