Chief Justice of India BR Gavai retired today after a six-month tenure. Details on appointments were disclosed by SC Collegium, a trend started by Gavai's predecessor Sanjiv Khanna.
Aditi Gajendra Sharma has now written to top 5 SC judges including CJI Gavai, expressing concerns about collegium’s move to recommend district judge Rajesh Kumar Gupta for promotion.

Apart from Manoj Pulamby Madhavan, CJI-led panel also cleared elevation of Abdul Hakhim Mullapally, Syam Kumar Vadakke Mudavakkat, Harisankar Menon, Manu S. Nair, Easwaran Subramani.

Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
A reporting on how effectively judges delivered decisions on pending cases before them, under the leadership of not just this CJI but any CJI would go a long way in showing how the Justice systems is working in India.

Such reporting on. how many justices of a certain persuasion, background were appointed does injustice to any CJI and merely pushes the “Woke” mindset into an important institution like Judiciary. How did such appointments help the common man whose cases were pending before these learned judges?
