The Supreme Court today granted relief to two Himachal Pradesh district judges, directing the High Court collegium to reconsider their promotion, citing disregarded merit and seniority. The Court criticized the unilateral decision-making process and instructed the collegium to adhere to established legal standards. This decision aligns with previous resolutions and requests from the Supreme Court collegium and the Law Minister.
The Supreme Court Collegium recommended the permanent elevation of five additional judges at the Allahabad High Court, including Justice Saurabh Srivastava, Justice Om Prakash Shukla, Justice Mohd. Azhar Husain Idrisi, Justice Jyotsna Sharma, and Justice Surendra Singh-I. This decision follows a thorough review process, demonstrating their exceptional legal proficiency and commitment.
