Collegium puts off decision on pressing Joseph’s case
What has happened?
The five-judge collegium led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra on Wednesday deferred its decision on the government’s objections to the elevation of Chief Justice of the Uttarakhand High Court K.M. Joseph to the Supreme Court.
What now?
It may meet next week to decide on the issue and on the names from other HCs
Decision binding
If the collegium reiterates its recommendation of Justice Joseph, it would be binding on the government.
