Following this, as per the Memorandum of Procedure, the Judges of the Supreme Court familiar with the Allahabad High Court’s affairs were consulted to evaluate the suitability of the aforementioned Judges for permanent appointments. A Committee of two Supreme Court judges, constituted by the Chief Justice of India under the Resolution dated October 26, 2017, of the Supreme Court Collegium, assessed the judgments delivered by these Additional Judges.
