Govt notifies two SC judges, despite dissent note by Justice Nagarathna
Hindustan Times Patna
|August 28, 2025
The Union government on Wednesday notified the appointment of two new judges to the Supreme Court, Bombay high court chief justice Alok Aradhe and Patna high court chief justice Vipul M Pancholi, even as Justice BV Nagarathna recorded a strong note of dissent against Justice Pancholi’s elevation, warning that his appointment would be “counterproductive” to the administration of justice and imperil the
credibility of the collegium system.
Justice Pancholi will be in line to become the Chief Justice of India (CJI) for a tenure of nearly 18 months following the retirement of Justice Joymalya Bagchi in May 2031.
