Supreme Court today said that it has not accepted the Centre’s stand of rejecting the 43 names recommended by the apex court Collegium for their appointment as judges of the various high courts.
A bench comprising Chief Justice T S Thakur and A R Dave Friday said the list has been sent back to the government for reconsideration.
Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said that the government will have to study and examine the reasons of the Supreme Court collegium while rejecting its objections to the names recommended by it for appointment of judges to high courts. He said the government will start processing the files once again.
The Centre on Tuesday told the court that it has cleared 34 names out of the 77 recommended by the collegium.
