NEW DELHI: Setting a record, the Supreme Court collegium headed by CJI J S Khehar has recommended 51 names for judges in 10 high courts shortly after finalising the memorandum of procedure (MoP) for the appointment of judges in constitutional courts.

With more than 41% posts vacant at the 24 high courts — only 632 judges as against a sanctioned strength of 1,079 — the collegium comprising CJI Khehar and Justices Dipak Misra and Jasti Chelameswar faced a tough task in finalising names as Justice Chelameswar is not taking part in collegium meetings while agreeing to record his views on the appointments proposed by the other two judges.

The CJI devised a way out and met Misra and Chelameswar separately several times between March 20 and 29 to finalise the names. In the process, he considerably pruned the list of nearly 90 names originally recommended by various high court collegiums.

The oldest of the recommendations went back a year, being sent in the third week of April 2016. Of the 51, the collegium recommended 20 judicial officers and 31 advocates for appointment as HC judges. Never before has the SC collegium recommended 51 names within a span of 10 days to the government though the pendency has been steadily mounting in various high courts since 2015.
