The collegium also said it had considered the name of Justice Dilip Gupta of Allahabad High Court to be the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court. The reason cited for not recommending him is as follows: “We are not recommending the name of Mr. Justice Dilip Gupta though he is senior to Mr. Justice Krishna Murari in the seniority of Judges of the Allahabad High Court, keeping in view the fact that the former is due to demit office on 6th June, 2018 and his residuary tenure as a High Court Judge is very short, and hence recommendation of his name would not serve any purpose.” The collegium also noted that in Meghalaya High Court, presently working judge-strength stands reduced to only one against the total judge-strength of 4, while that in Manipur it is two against the total judge-strength of 5.
