With the ongoing drama, the President has notified the appointment of Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Sanjiv Khanna as the SC Judges.

It was in the month of January that the SC Collegium headed by CJI Ranjan Gogoi suggested their elevation.

This decision became controversial as it was in reversal of the previous decision taken on December 12 to recommend the elevation of Chief Justice of Delhi HC, Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Chief Justice of Rajasthan HC Rajendra Menon respectively.

This decision of the SC Collegium has received several flaks from many former justices.

 Former Delhi HC judge Kailash Gambhir also wrote a letter to the President of India, questioning the January 10 decision.

Justice Dinesh Maheshwari is currently Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court. Justice Sanjiv Khanna is a judge of Delhi High Court.
