Political past can’t be basis to deny judgeship: SC collegium on Kerala HC judge appointment

Hindustan Times  

A candidate cannot be denied judgeship because of her or his political past alone, the Supreme Court collegium has emphasised, rejecting the Centre’s objection to the appointment of a Communist Party of India “sympathiser” as a judge in the Kerala high court. The collegium, also comprising justices Sanjiv Khanna and BR Gavai, was considering the candidature of Manoj Pulamby Madhavan, a lawyer belonging to a Scheduled Caste who was found suitable by the Supreme Court and high court judges to be elevated as a judge in the Kerala high court, but the central government raised a red flag. Even otherwise, the mere fact that the candidate has had a political background may not be a sufficient reason in all cases.” Interestingly, the collegium’s resolution made hints about L Victoria Gowri, a former leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party, being appointed as a Madras high court judge in February 2023 without the government objecting at the time. “For example, in the recent past, an advocate has been appointed as a judge of the high court though she was an office-bearer of a political party prior to her elevation,” said the collegium.
