In a significant move to fill vacancies, the Supreme Court Collegium on Wednesday recommended the appointment of Senior Advocate V. Mohana to the rank of a Judge at the apex court.

If appointed, the senior advocate will become the second woman from Tamil Nadu to reach the post after Justice R. Banumathi, and the second from the Bar after Justice Indu Malhotra.

Other judges who were recommended for the same post include Justices Sanjeev Sachdeva, Shree Chandrashekhar, Sheel Nagu, and Arun Palli.

(More details are awaited.)
