Twenty-Five Supreme Court Collegium Recommendations for High Court Judges Pending with Government
Twenty-five recommendations by the Supreme Court Collegium for appointing high court judges across several courts, including Delhi, Calcutta, Madras, Punjab and Haryana, and Gujarat, remain pending with the government. The oldest pending case is advocate Saurabh Kirpal's, awaiting a decision since 2017. While the number of pending recommendations has decreased recently, Kirpal's file was returned for reconsideration in 2022 and remains unresolved. The appointment process involves multiple stages, including inputs from the Union law ministry and intelligence reports before final approval.
