SC orders Himachal Pradesh high court collegium to reconsider elevation of 2 district judges

The Supreme Court has overturned a decision by the Himachal Pradesh high court’s chief justice, who had individually rejected two district judges’ candidacies for elevation. The bench directed the high court collegium to reassess Chirag Bhanu Singh and Arvind Malhotra’s candidacies, noting that the previous approach did not adhere to established legal principles.
