NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court collegium today made public its resolution recommending the name of Uttarakhand High Court Chief Justice K M Joseph for appointment as an Apex Court judge, saying he is “more deserving and suitable in all respects” than other chief justices and judges of the High Courts.
Along with Justice Joseph, the collegium has also recommended the name of senior advocate Indu Malhotra, who would be the first woman lawyer to be directly appointed as a judge of the top court, instead of being elevated from a High Court.
Malhotra would be the seventh women judge in the Apex court since Independence as only six women judges have made it to the Supreme Court as judges. (AGENCIES)
