Law ministry sources said Justice Joseph was 12th in the list of seniority of CJs of 24 HCs and at the 45th position in the all-India judges’ seniority list.

However, it is the January 10 recommendation of the collegium, comprising the CJI and Justices Chelameswar and Gogoi, for appointment of Justice Surya Kant as chief justice of Himachal HC which has generated a controversy with sitting and retired SC judges terming this a clear case of favouritism achieved through unjust supersession of Justice A K Mittal, who is senior to Justice Kant. The three-member collegium, that decides appointment of HC CJs, acknowledged that Justice Mittal was senior to Justice Kant but said it found the latter “more suitable” for appointment as HC CJ. This was opposed by Justice Adarsh K Goel, who as a consultee judge had sought taking a fair view of the assets acquired in Delhi, Shimla and Punjab by Justice Kant after becoming a judge. Another interesting feature, which requires special mention is that two SC judges (Justices Ranjan Gogoi and A K Sikri), who had opposed supersession of Justice S S Saron in April 2017, have turned in favour of supersession was playing favourites?”
