The Supreme Court collegium has recently selected Justice Joymalya Bagchi of the Calcutta High Court for a prestigious appointment to the Supreme Court. This recommendation aims to fill one of the two current vacancies in the SC. Justice Bagchi, if approved, will join Justice Dipankar Datta from the same high court. The collegium has also put forth the name of Justice Harish Tandon for the position of Chief Justice at the Orissa High Court. Justice Bagchi has a strong track record of handling significant cases, including arguing against the ban on Taslima Nasreen’s book. This decision highlights the collegium’s trust in Justice Bagchi’s capabilities and expertise.
