New Delhi (19.07.2023): The Supreme Court Collegium recommended the names of two Madras High Court lawyers for elevation as judges of the Court. The SC Collegium recommended that lawyers N Senthilkumar and G Arul Murugan be elevated as judges of the Madras HC. Their names were recommended by the Madras HC Collegium in August 2022.
The SC Collegium considered the recommendation in May this year but deferred taking a decision as it required the Madras HC Collegium to go through the issues flagged by the Union government and to give its final word on their suitability.
On June 27 this year, the Madras HC Chief Justice SV Gangapurwala, considered the government's inputs and forwarded the Madras HC Collegium's recommendation to the SC Collegium, confirming the suitability of the two candidates.
While Senthilkumar has an experience of over 28 years at the Bar, Murugan has been practicing as a lawyer for over 24 years. The resolution stated that Senthilkumar belongs to the SC Community and Murugan to the OBC category.
