The Supreme Court Collegium, while considering the elevation of four advocates to the Delhi High Court, has deferred the elevation of two, and remitted proposals for elevation of the other two back to the High Court.

A total of nine advocates were recommended for elevation by the Delhi High Court Collegium on October 13, 2017. In September, the Supreme Court Collegium had deferred the proposals with respect to four advocates – Krishnendu Datta, Saurabh Kirpal, Priya Kumar, and NLSIU graduate Sanjoy Ghose.

The Collegium has now deferred the proposal for elevation of Krishnendu Datta and Saurabh Kirpal for another “2/3 weeks”.

The proposals calling for the elevation of Kumar and Ghose have been remitted to the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court.
