✎ SC collegium's recommendations for CJ elevations and transfers highlight the judicial appointment process and administrative decisions in high courts.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity
The Supreme Court collegium, led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, recently recommended the elevation of four high court judges to the position of Chief Justices across different high courts. The appointments include Justice V. Kameswar Rao from the Delhi High Court to the Patna High Court, Justice Ravindra V. Ghuge from the Bombay High Court to the Calcutta High Court, Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi from the Allahabad High Court to the Bombay High Court, and Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra from the Punjab and Haryana High Court to the same high court. Additionally, the collegium proposed the transfer of two judges—Justice Manash Ranjan Pathak from the Orissa High Court to the Gujarat High Court and Justice Krushna Ram Mohapatra from the Orissa High Court to the Chhattisgarh High Court. These decisions reflect the judiciary’s ongoing efforts to ensure efficient administration of justice by redistributing judicial resources and leadership across high courts.
For aspirants preparing for Bank PO, IBPS, SBI, RBI Grade B, and SSC exams, this development holds significance as it touches upon the structure and functioning of the Indian judiciary, a key topic in the polity section of these examinations. Questions related to the collegium system, the appointment and transfer of judges, and the hierarchy of courts may appear in preliminary and mains stages of these exams. Understanding the roles of constitutional bodies like the Supreme Court collegium and the process of judicial appointments can help candidates answer questions on governance, constitutional provisions, and judicial reforms. Additionally, awareness of current judicial appointments ensures a well-rounded preparation for exams that test both static and dynamic aspects of Indian polity.
