SC May Curb Judgeship to Kin of Judges

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court collegium is poised to examine a proposal that aims to prohibit the appointment of judges in High Courts based on familial relationships. According to sources, the collegium may instruct High Court collegiums to refrain from recommending candidates whose parents or close relatives are current or former Supreme Court or High Court judges. Additionally, Justices Hrishikesh Roy and Abhay S. Oka are part of the larger five-member Supreme Court collegium that decides and recommends names for High Court judgeships. Recently, the apex court collegium initiated personal interactions with lawyers and judicial officers nominated for elevation to High Courts, marking a significant shift from the traditional reliance on biodata, written assessments, and intelligence reports.
