Earlier, the Supreme Court Collegium, headed by the Chief Justice of India, proposed the names of both judicial officers serving in crucial posts of the state government to be elevated as judges of the Tripura High Court.
The President of India later gave her consent to the proposals made by the SC Collegium, paving the way for their appointment.
