The Supreme Court collegium on Thursday recommended the elevation of disabled Advocate Moxa Kiran Thakker as judge of the Gujarat High Court. “Her appointment would bring greater inclusion to the composition of the High Court,” the Collegium stated. The Collegium also recommended senior advocate Kardak Ete for the judgeship in the Gauhati High Court. “The candidate belongs to a Scheduled Tribe. Besides his own competence and standing at the Bar, the appointment of Shri Kardak Ete will bring greater diversity and inclusion to the High Court,” the Collegium resolution said.
