The Supreme Court Collegium led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant recommended four High Court Chief Justices and senior advocate V Mohana for elevation as Supreme Court judges, with Mohana poised to become the first woman elevated to the apex court in over five years.
Former Supreme Court judge Abhay Oka said Justice BV Nagarathna’s dissent over Justice Vipul Pancholi’s elevation must be disclosed. He stressed transparency in Collegium decisions while balancing lawyers’ privacy.
