Dissent on Justice Pancholi’s Elevation to Supreme Court

• Justice B.V. Nagarathna, a single woman Supreme Court judge, dissents against the elevation of Justice Vipul Manubhai Pancholi to the Supreme Court.

• Nagarathna’s dissent is multifaceted, focusing on the criteria the Collegium considers when assessing a candidate for elevation.

• The dissent is based on the court’s principle that judicial appointments should be free of fear of other power centers.

• Nagarathna argues that executive interference in judicial appointments would cripple justice administration, as the government is the biggest litigant in the country.

• The bar for recommending judges who could become Chief Justices of India must be set “really high” as they become protectors of the judiciary’s independence in the future.

• Justice Pancholi, who was sworn in as a Supreme Court judge on August 29, is in line to be CJI in 2031.

• The dissent is a call to protect the future of the court and the credibility of the Collegium system of judicial appointments.

• Justice Nagarathna also raised doubts about the potential Chief Justiceship of Justice Pancholi from October 3, 2031 to May 27, 2033.

• She also raised the point that several High Courts were not represented or had inadequate representation in the top court.

Pancholi elevation controversy is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
