SC Issues Notice On 7 UP Judicial Officers' Plea Against Non-recommendation Of Their Names By SC Collegium For Elevation To Allahabad HC

Live Law  

The Supreme Court has issued notice on a petition challenging non-inclusion of certain Judicial Officers from the State of Uttar Pradesh, in the SC Collegium's recommendation dated August 14, 2020 for appointment as Judges of the Allahabad High Court. They have further pointed out that Mr. Subhash Chand joined Judicial Service in December, 2011 or in January, 2012 as an Advocate after resigning from the UP Nyayik Sewa. They have however contended, "there is no nexus to the object sought to be achieved by introducing the age restriction in regard to recommendation for appointment as High Court Judge from the judicial service cadre and it is also not mandatory, as several times so many judicial officers have been appointed as Jugde of various High Courts even after their retirement." Citing the example of the Bombay High Court whereby 3 judicial officers who had crossed the prescribed age limit of 58 ½ years had been appointed as Judges to meet the huge pendency of cases, the Petitioners submitted thus: "There is also huge pendency of civil, as well as criminal cases in Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad…on 01/04/2019 and on 01/08/2020, there were 51 and 61 vacancies of Judges in Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad."
