With a paradigm shift in access to data on Judges, the Supreme Court’s collegium may be on the cusp of transparency
On Saturday, the Chief Justice of India, Justice U.U.Lalit, along with his brother Judges at the Supreme Court, Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and M.R.Shah, and the Chief Justice of the Orissa High Court, Dr. Justice S.Muralidhar, released a dataset and a booklet, titled KHOJ (Know Your High Court Judges), which is likely to mark a paradigm shift in the quality of our access to data on high court judges. The event was attended by other judges of the Orissa High Court, the Advocate General and senior members of the Bar.
