Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and K.V. Viswanathan took oath of office today as Supreme Court judges, following the Union government’s notification of the Collegium’s recommendations.
The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended these six lawyers, as well as three others which are yet to be notified, for elevation as Allahabad High Court judges.
The Court said that the Central government was forcing it to take some "tough decisions" over the former's delay in processing appointments and transfers.
