The Supreme Court collegium has stood strong on its decision to appoint senior advocate Saurabh Kirpal as judge of a constitutional court. A three-member Collegium headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, and also comprising Justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph, said Kirpal’s appointment as a judge was pending for five years. “His appointment will add value to the Bench of the Delhi High Court and provide inclusion and diversity,” the Collegium said.
