Judicial Appointments Can't Be "Individual Decision": Supreme Court | Biggest Stories Of September 8

The process of judicial appointments to a superior court is not the prerogative of an individual, the Supreme Court said on Friday and directed the Himachal Pradesh High Court collegium to reconsider "collectively" the elevation of two senior-most district and sessions judges, who were passed over for promotion to high court judgeship.
It said there was no collective consultation by the high court collegium on the elevation of district and sessions judges to the superior court and the decision on the suitability of the two senior-most judges appeared to be an "individual decision" of the chief justice.

The top court also stressed on the need to protect certain sensitive information in matters involving appointment of judges and said disclosing such information would compromise not only the privacy of an individual but also the integrity of the process.
