Collegium to reiterate KM Joseph's name for elevation to Supreme Court

New Delhi: The Supreme Court collegium headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra on Friday unanimously decided to reiterate its earlier recommendation to elevate Uttarakhand high court Chief Justice K.M. Joseph as a judge of the apex court.

With the collegium likely to assert its authority over the appointment of Supreme Court judges, this is expected to result in a major confrontation with the Centre that has expressed its reservations over the selection of Justice Joseph for the nation’s highest court.
