The collegium's recommendations come days after Justice Rohinton Nariman, a member of the committee, retired from the Supreme Court. Justice Nariman had insisted on the priority appointment of Karnataka Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Tripura Justice Akil Kureshi — the seniormost members on the all-India list, which had hindered the collegium from arriving at a consensus, The Indian Express reported. The recommendations, if accepted, would elevate the court's strength to 33, following the retirement of Justice Navin Sinha.
