What happened (Supreme Court collegium recommended four judges for elevation)
The Supreme Court collegium recommended four judges for elevation. A collegium recommendation is the judiciary’s internal stage for proposing names for higher judicial posts, and those names proceed to the next stage of the appointment process.
Background and earlier position (judge elevation moves through multiple stages)
India’s appointment of Supreme Court and High Court judges follows a constitutional appointment framework in which collegium recommendations by senior judges are followed by executive and constitutional steps that complete the appointment.
What changed now (a fresh collegium recommendation batch of four judges)
