THE COLLEGIUM HAD ALREADY REJECTED THE PROPOSAL TWICE ON THE BASIS OF ADVERSE INPUTS FROM THE INTELLIGENCE BUREAU
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court collegium was left surprised last week after the Union government sent back, for the third time in twoyears, the name ofa judicial officer for elevation to the Delhi high court, despite the fact that the collegium had already rejected the proposal twice on the basis of adverse inputs from the Intelligence Bureau (IB).
The name, which was first considered in 2023, was returned to the Delhi high court by the collegium following negative feedback from IB regarding the candidate’s suitability for elevation.
‘According to people familiar with the matter, there was no change in the IB’s stance when the name was sent for reconsideration last year and again this year, and yet, the government chose to forward it once more.
The move, which came up at the collegium’s July 2 meeting, baffled members who saw little justification in the reiteration, particularly when the inputs from the intelligence agency remained unchanged. The collegium rejected the name yet again.
‘Apart from Chief Justice of India (CJI) Justice BR Gavai, the collegium comprised justices Surya Kant and Vikram Nath.

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look
