Injustice for Justice ???
Ms. Indu Malhotra elevates as the First women judge to directly reach the Apex court, but Justice KM Joseph not elevated.
The Central government has cleared the elevation of senior lawyer Indu Malhotra as the Supreme Court judge. By this elevation she becomes the first women lawyer to become the judge of the Apex court directly by the recommendation of the bar. The elevation of Justice KM Joseph of the Uttarakhand High Court is kept on hold.
The file of the collegium recommendation was sent to the Apex court on 22nd of January 2018, and the processing was over by the first week of February 2018. But the decision was kept on abeyance as Justice KM Joseph could not be elevated. But now the ministry has declared the clearance of Ms. Indu Malhotra.
The legal experts had also warned the government about the segregation of the collegium's recommendation. The colleguim's recommendation clearly stated that Justice KM Joseph is more eligible and desiring than any other Chief Justice or senior puisine Justice of High courts. Justice KM Joseph is the 42nd in the seniority list, out of the 669 judges of High court judges of India. Minister of Law and Justice of India, Mr.Ravi Shankar Prasad will write to the Chief Justice of India with regards to the elevation of only Ms. Indu Malhotra and not Justice KM Joseph.
