The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, Today (April 29th)
declined to consider a plea seeking abolition of the collegium system for appointing judges in the higher judiciary. Lawyer Mathews Nedumpara’s frustration over his petition not being listed for hearing was acknowledged, but the court cited prior rulings rendering the plea non-maintainable. The controversy stems from a 2015 ruling deeming the NJAC Act unconstitutional.
