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.
