The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Union Law Secretary while hearing a petition questioning the Centre's delay in processing names recommended by the Collegium for appointment as judges.
The Court was hearing a petition filed by the Advocates Association Bengaluru in 2021 saying the Centre’s delay in processing the names recommended for appointment as judges to the apex court goes against the Second Judges case (PLR Projects Ltd v. Mahanadi Coalfields Pvt Ltd). The Association alleged the Centre's conduct violated the directions of the court which said that the names sent by the Collegium should be cleared
