The Supreme Court collegium, under the leadership of Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, has implemented stricter selection criteria for appointing High Court judges in India. This move has led to a notable decrease in the success rate of lawyers recommended for elevation to the High Court bench. Previously, around 90% of recommendations made by the High Court collegium were accepted, however, the recent changes mean that now less than 50% of candidates are able to successfully navigate the mandatory interview process. This shift in the selection process indicates a more rigorous evaluation of candidates’ qualifications and suitability for the esteemed position of High Court judge. The move aims to enhance the quality and integrity of the judiciary system in India by ensuring that only the most competent and deserving candidates are appointed to the prestigious role. The new selection process underscores the importance of experience, expertise, and ethical standards in the legal profession, setting a higher benchmark for aspiring High Court judges. These changes reflect a commitment to upholding the highest standards of justice and accountability within the Indian judiciary, ultimately benefiting the legal system and the citizens it serves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
