Close on the heels, another Judge Justice Chandra Moli Prasad, who was also recommended for elevation to the Supreme Court, has been held back due to a representation made against him to the Collegium.
Justice Prasad, acting Chief Justice of the Patna High Court was to take oath along with Justice Swatantara Kumar, CJ of the Bombay High Court today.
