Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution concerning the elevation of two seniormost District and Sessions Judges in Himachal Pradesh. The Court held that the High Court Collegium's recommendation of junior officers for elevation, without reconsidering the petitioners as directed by the Supreme Court Collegium's Resolution dated 4th January 2024, violated the principles of seniority and fair consideration. The Court issued notice to the Registrar General of the Himachal Pradesh High Court to address the grievances raised by the petitioners regarding their elevation.
