Supreme Court Collegium backs gay advocate Saurabh Kirpal's elevation again, explains why

India Today  

The Supreme Court Collegium has once again backed the appointment of gay advocate Saurabh Kirpal to the Delhi High Court. Amidst a sharp criticism of the Collegium system by the government, the Collegium has expressed its disagreement with the Centre, which returned the proposal to appoint Saurabh Kirpal as a judge of the Delhi High Court, citing his openness about his sexual orientation. In a resolution dated January 18, which was made public today, the Collegium comprising CJI DY Chandrachud, Justices SK Kaul and KM Joseph said, "The fact that Saurabh Kirpal has been open about his orientation is a matter which goes to his credit. The recommendation was unanimously made by the Collegium of the Delhi High Court on October 13, 2017 and approved by the Supreme Court Collegium on November 11, 2021.
