The ruckus after press conference of reverned senior judges of Supreme Court and follow up by media has disillusioned common persons about Courts.

The Chief Justice of India is traditionally appointed by the outgoing Chief Justice of India on the day of his (or her) retirement. By convention, the outgoing Chief Justice of India selects the most senior then-sitting Supreme Court judge. Seniority at the apex court is determined not by age, but by: 1. The date a judge was appointed to the Supreme Court. 2. If two judges are elevated to the Supreme Court on the same day, a) the one who was sworn in first as a judge would trump another; b) if both were sworn in as judges on the same day, the one with more years of high court service would ‘win’ in the seniority stakes; c) an appointment from the bench would ‘trump’ in seniority an appointee from the bar. * * <http://sig.graphicsfactory.com/>* நல்லதுசெய் நல்லதே நடக்கும் *जन सेवा ईश्वर सेवा * *cnu.pne* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
