On Wednesday, the Supreme Court Collegium made seven recommendations for Chief Justices of seven different High Courts. The names of the High Courts in Bombay, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Manipur, Orrisa, and Kerala were suggested by the Collegium.
At the Collegium meeting on Wednesday, the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sanjiv Khanna made these recommendations.
The name recommended as the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court is Justice Sunita Agarwal, and if the name is approved by the Centre, the Gujarat HC will have a female Chief Justice. So far no woman has held this position, she will become the only female Chief Justice of a High Court if selected.
