SC collegium recommends names of new CJs for 10 high courts
The Supreme Court collegium on Thursday made public the names it has recommended for appointment as chief justices of 10 high courts.
The recommendations, made on January 11 by the collegium comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, and Justices J Chelameswar and Ranjan Gogoi, have been posted on the official website of the apex court.
The recommendations have been made for the high courts of Delhi, Meghalaya, Chhattisgarh, Calcutta, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala and Manipur.
The collegium has recommended Justice Aniruddha Bose, a senior judge of the Calcutta High Court, for appointment as the chief justice of Delhi High Court, the position which was vacant since the retirement of Justice G Rohini on April 13 last year.
Justice Gita Mittal has been the Acting Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court since then.
The collegium has also recommended names of two incumbent chief justices — of Chhattisgarh and Meghalaya HCs– for transfer to other high courts.
