Marking a major step towards strengthening the Bombay High Court, the Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the elevation of fourteen advocates to the Bench. The recommendations, passed on August 19 through two separate resolutions, reflect a diverse representation of the Bar.
The first resolution put forward eight advocates: Siddheshwar Sundarrao Thombre, Mehroz Ashraf Khan Pathan, Ranjitsinha Raja Bhonsale, Sandesh Dadasaheb Patil, Shreeram Vinayak Shirsat, Hiten Shamrao Venegavkar, Rajnish Ratnakar Vyas, and Raj Damodar Wakode.
The second resolution added six more names: Nandesh Shankarrao Deshpande, Amit Satyavan Jamsandekar, Ashish Sahadev Chavan, Vaishali Nimbajirao Patil-Jadhav, Abasaheb Dharmaji Shinde, and Farhan Parvez Dubash.
With these recommendations, the Collegium has set the stage for the Union Government’s next move, which will decide their formal appointment.
