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.
Last month, ThePrint reported that 1 in every 3 of India’s 687 sitting permanent high court judges is either related to a sitting or former judge, or comes from a family of lawyers.
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.
Study by authors of ‘Court on Trial’ looked at details of every judge appointed to SC since its creation in 1950 until 2018, and representation in court before & after Collegium system.
Collegium reiterated his candidature in January. But, law ministry notified appointments of Shailesh Pramod Brahme, Firdosh Phiroze Pooniwalla, & Jitendra Shantilal Jain on 12 June.

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. A similar comparison between previous and current CJI would show the improvement, if any.
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?
