The top court collegium also subsequently considered the minutes of the meeting of the High Court Collegium meeting along with the issues flagged by the DoJ.
It had noted that each of the issues had been dealt with elaborately by the High Court Collegium.
“At an earlier stage while recommending the name of Shri Brar, the Collegium of the Supreme Court took into consideration the opinion of its consultee-judges. The Collegium has now obtained the opinion of two more consultee-judges who have been appointed as Judges of the Supreme Court recently. In view of the opinion of the consultee-judges of this Court and the report submitted by the Chief Justice of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana along with Minutes of the Collegium and papers enclosed with it, and after examining all aspects of the matter, the Collegium is of the view that Shri Harpreet Singh Brar is fit and suitable for appointment as a Judge of the High Court of Punjab and Haryana,” the resolution further said.
The Collegium noted that the senior counsel has wide-ranging experience of practice.
Accordingly, it reiterated Brar’s name and stated that the proposal should be processed at the earliest.
