Retired judge pushing some names led to no collegium meeting for 2 months?

IndiaTimes Friday, 29 December 2023
Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, a retired judge, expressed dissatisfaction with the collegium system for selecting constitutional court judges. He faced resistance in appointing an advocate as a judge of J&K HC, elevating a Madhya Pradesh HC judge to SC, and appointing the most senior Delhi HC judge as an SC judge or HC chief justice. The CJI refrained from holding collegium meetings to avoid embarrassment. Justice Kaul had strong views on candidates for judgeship and pushed for their appointments. He also advocated for transparent dialogue between the collegium and the government on objections to recommendations.

Lawyers’ letter to CJI: PM Modi reacts, calls ‘bullying’ typical of Congress culture | Oneindia

After approximately 600 lawyers sent a letter to the Chief Justice of India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at the Congress party on Thursday. "Using intimidation tactics is typical of Congress culture. Five decades ago, they advocated for a 'committed judiciary' – they shamelessly demand commitment from others for their own selfish interests but refuse to commit to the nation," the PM stated in a post on X. "It's no surprise that 1.4 billion Indians are turning away from them," he concluded. #DYChandrachud #HarishSalve #Pinkyanand #VestedGroup #SupremeCourtofIndia #Letter #SupremeCourt #IndianLaw #LokSabhaElections #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~
