The Supreme Court collegium on Thursday recommended five judicial officials Susan Valentine Pinto, Hasmukhbhai Dalsukhbhai Suthar, Jitendra Champaklal Doshi, Mangesh Rameshchandra Mengdey, and Divyeshkumar Amrutlal Joshi, to be appointed as judges of the Gujarat High Court.

The collegium also recommended advocates Devan Mahendrabhai Desai and Moxa Kiran Thakker, to be appointed as Judges of the High Court of Gujarat and advocate Kardak Ete for appointment as a Judge in the Guwahati High Court.

"In order to ascertain the fitness and suitability of Kardak Ete for elevation to the High Court, in terms of the Memorandum of Procedure, the judges of the Supreme Court conversant with the affairs of the Guwahati High Court were consulted," Collegium noted.

"For the purpose of assessing the merit and suitability of Kardak Ete for elevation to the High Court, we have scrutinised and evaluated the material placed on record. We have also perused the observations made by the Department of Justice in the file..." it said.

"The report of the Intelligence Bureau indicates that he enjoys a good personal and professional image and nothing adverse has come to notice with regard to integrity. The candidate belongs to a Scheduled Tribe. Besides his own competence and standing at the Bar, the appointment of Kardak Ete will bring greater diversity and inclusion in the High Court. The Collegium, therefore, resolves to recommend that Kardak Ete, Advocate, be appointed as a judge of the Gauhati High Court," the resolution stated.
