CJI NV Ramana 'Extremely Upset' Over 'Speculation' on Collegium Recommendations

Reports on 18 August claimed that the collegium had cleared a list of 9 candidates, including three women.

Chief Justice of India NV Ramana strongly criticised media reports on Wednesday, 18 August, which claimed that the Supreme Court collegium had finalised a list of nine recommendations for appointment as apex court judges.

"Today’s reflections in some sections of the media, pending the process, even before formalising the resolution is counter productive," the CJI said, speaking at the reference for Justice Navin Sinha, who retired as Supreme Court judge on Wednesday.
