SC asks Himachal Pradesh HC collegium to reconsider names of two judicial officers for elevation as Judges

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court held on Friday that the process of judicial appointments to constitutional courts in the country is not the Chief Justices’ “prerogative” and must be consultative. The case revealed that the Chief Justice of the High Court chose to “individually” address the Supreme Court Collegium on the suitability of the two judicial officers without keeping his High Court Collegium colleagues in the loop. The judgment said the “High Court Collegium should now reconsider the names of Chirag Bhanu Singh and Arvind Malhotra for elevation as judges of the High Court”. Justice Roy explained that Chief Justices of High Courts cannot act without the participation of their Collegium members merely because communications from the Supreme Court Collegium were “naturally addressed” to the Chief Justices of the High Courts concerned.
