The Supreme Court collegium dithered a lot while deciding where to send whom while taking a call on the future posting of controversial Karnataka High Court Chief Justice P D Dinakaran. At least two HC Chief Justices were considered as a likely replacement for Dinakaran,with the choice finally narrowing down to Uttarakhand HC Chief Justice J S Khehar. But there is still no explanation why one of the CJs was first asked to give his consent only to be told within a few days that he was not being considered. That the Union Law Ministry is miffed with the collegium for mishandling the entire affair is also well known. It remains to be seen what action,if any,the ministry takes on the collegium’s latest recommendations.
