The Supreme Court's collegium has put forward names for chief justices of the high courts in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Chhattisgarh.
The Supreme Court collegium, the apex body that selects senior judges for India's high courts, has submitted its recommendations for new chief justices in four states. The collegium, headed by the Chief Justice of India, meets periodically to consider vacancies and propose suitable candidates.
The recommendations cover the high courts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Chhattisgarh. Names of senior judges from various benches have been proposed, although the specific individuals have not been disclosed in the public release.
Following the collegium's advice, the proposals will be forwarded to the President of India for formal appointment. The process typically involves background checks and a brief period for any objections before the appointments are finalized.
