Forty-four judges will be cleared for appointment to the higher judiciary in three days, the government told the Supreme Court on Friday, after it was asked to "follow the law of the land" and not delay the process.
Hearing a petition on the delay in the appointment of judges, the Supreme Court asked the government to clear the pending names as early as possible.
Attorney General R Venkataramani assured the top court that it will follow the timeline and said that out of the 104 recommendations made by the collegium of high courts, which are pending with the government, 44 are likely to be processed and sent to the Supreme Court by this weekend.
