Supreme Court Collegium rejects DOJ's objection to Kerala High Court judge nominee, deeming political affiliation irrelevant.
The Supreme Court Collegium has rejected the Department of Justice's objection to advocate Manoj Pulamby Madhavan's appointment as a judge of the Kerala High Court. The Collegium deemed the input that Madhavan is a CPI(M) sympathiser as "extremely vague" and determined that a candidate's political background isn't a sufficient reason to reject their appointment as a judge. The collegium evaluated the candidate's suitability based on available materials, noting the input on his political affiliation lacked concrete grounds.
