🏛️ The Supreme Court Collegium led by CJI Sanjiv Khanna has recommended two judges for elevation so far:
1. Justice Manmohan (Assumed office on 3 December 2024)
2. Justice Vinod Chandran (Union approval pending)
📍Both recommendations were based on improving High Court representation (Delhi and Kerala repsectively). Six more retirements are scheduled this year. Each brings a diversity gap of its own, sometimes on multiple axes.
👩🏻⚖For instance, Justice Bela Trivedi, who is retiring in June, is one of two sitting women judges and one of two judges from the Gujarat High Court.
