Collegium Crisis: Why Justice Nagarathna Took a Stand

The Supreme Court collegium system has once again landed in debate, and this time the criticism has come from inside. Justice B.V. Nagarathna, herself a member of the collegium, openly questioned the appointment of Patna High Court judge Vipul Pancholi, calling him unsuitable for the position. By insisting that her dissent be made public on the official website, she has taken a stand that has pushed this issue into the public eye. In today’s episode of Deshkaal Plus, senior journalist Mukesh Kumar breaks down why Justice Nagarathna opposed this appointment and what it means for the credibility of the collegium system. Is the judiciary ready to embrace transparency, or does this raise deeper concerns about how judges are selected? This analysis explores the questions everyone is now asking. Watch the full video to understand the details behind this collegium controversy and why Justice Nagarathna’s dissent matters for India’s judiciary.
