While sending the files back to the top court, the Centre has urged it to reconsider the proposal for the elevation of senior advocate Saurabh Kirpal as a Judge in the Delhi High Court. Senior Lawyer Saurabh Kripal belongs to the LGBT community and is the son of former Chief Justice of India BN Kirpal.
The Centre has sent back to the Supreme Court Collegium to reconsider the proposal for the elevation of senior advocate Saurabh Kirpal as a Judge in the Delhi High Court to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court on Monday noted that consideration of name of judges recommended by the Collegium for appointments in the High Courts has been delayed by the Centre for months.
The Supreme Court issued notice in a plea by the Supreme Court Bar Association seeking directions on how to use land allocated to it for building lawyers' chambers.
