Government has accepted Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendation to not make Justice Pushpa Ganediwala a permanent judge

On January 20, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended a permanent appointment for Justice Pushpa V Ganediwala. However, following her recent verdicts, this recommendation was withdrawn. The Centre has also reduced her extension term by one year.

Ganediwala had acquitted a man of a minor’s sexual assault, saying groping without “skin to skin” contact isn’t sexual assault under POCSO Act.
