Ok For Centre To Reject Justice Joseph, Says Chief Justice | Read
As the government today sent back one of the two names recommended for the Supreme Court by the collegium or a group of five most-senior judges - justifying the fear of many of his colleagues - Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said there was "nothing wrong" in it. The government, rejecting Uttarakhand Chief Justice KM Joseph's elevation, has asked the top judges to be "objective and fair" and reconsider their choice. The second candidate, Indu Malhotra, was approved yesterday, three months after the collegium sent both names to the centre. If the judges decide to send Justice Joseph's name back, the government can only delay, not stop his appointment.
