‘Collegium not a search committee’: SC asks Centre to explain delay in judges appointment

The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Central government to provide detailed information regarding the names and numbers of judicial candidates recommended by the Apex Court's Collegium for appointment to the higher judiciary, and to explain why these appointments have not yet been processed. The court also asked the Centre to clarify at what level these recommendations were pending.

The bench, led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud and comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, said that the recommendations of the Supreme Court Collegium cannot be indefinitely delayed. The court was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a fixed timeframe for the Centre to act upon Collegium recommendations.
