Sibal & CJI look into, may recall, controversial list of 12 Madras judges

Thursday, 23 January 2014 By Legally India Bar, Bench & Litigation

A delegation of Madras High Court Advocates Association president, Paul Kanagaraj and others met with CJI Sathasivam and SC justices Ibrahim Kalifulla and C Nagappan yesterday about their problems with the list of 12 names proposed for judgeship at the high court, reported The Hindu.

The delegation told the Deccan Chronicle that they also met law minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday, who assured them he would “recall” the list. The CJI reportedly told them that because he is from Tamil Nadu, “he has de­ep interest in the state and will en­sure that only persons with absolute qualifications will be elevated as judges”.

Lawyers in the state returned to work today.

Just hate educated people with State bias. Why should one have more interest in his/her own State, unless it is a question of charitable work or donations.
