DY Chandrachud, Chief Justice of India
New Delhi, January 19
The Supreme Court Collegium led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Friday recommended the
elevation of Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Prasanna Bhalachandra Varale — the only Chief Justice belonging to a Scheduled Caste — as a top court judge.
The decision was taken unanimously in a meeting of the five-member Collegium which also included Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice BR Gavai, Justice Surya Kant and Justice Aniruddha Bose.
The Collegium took into consideration the fact that Justice Varale — one of the senior-most high court judges — was the only HC Chief Justice from the SC. The Collegium, therefore, unanimously resolves to recommend that Justice Prasanna B Varale be appointed as a Judge of the SC,” the Collegium resolution read.
