R John Sathyan yet to be appointed Madras High Court judge despite Collegium direction to clear his file first
The Collegium had said on January 17 that Sathyan's name should be cleared for appointment first before clearing the names of other five persons recommended the same day. Sathyan's appointment is yet to be cleared.
The appointment of five new judges to the Madras High Court, who took oath on Wednesday, is in violation of the Supreme Court Collegium's express direction to first clear another recommendation made by it - that of Advocate R John Sathyan.
