Two new SC judges superseded several seniors in queue

In a big pushback to “seniority” as an elevation criteria, Chief Justice NV Ramana on Monday administered oath to new SC judges Sudhanshu Dhulia and Jamshed Burjor Pardiwala, who leapfrogged many HC chief justices and superseded scores of HC judges. Justice Dhulia, as Gauhati HC chief justice, was 30th in the all-India seniority list of HC judges. Justice Pardiwala was 49th in the list.
