Petition in Kerala High Court seeks to ensure representation of most backward communities in appointment of judges to HC
A former scientist of the India Council for Agriculture Research has moved the Kerala High Court seeking directions to the Central Government and others to ensure equitable representation to Scheduled Castes, Latin Catholics or other backward communities in the appointment of judges to the High Court of Kerala. M. K. Mukundan moved the High Court pointing out that there was no representation for Scheduled Castes, Latin Catholics or other backward communities among the judges of the Kerala High Court. Of the 34 judges in the Kerala High Court, 23 belonged to higher communities and six were from the Ezhava community. Though a woman, who is also a member of a Scheduled Tribe, was elected as the President of India, the rightful claims of the members of the Schedules Castes and other equally deprived classes like Latin Catholics have not been duly recognised in the appointment of judges to the Kerala High Court.
