According to today’s ruling by the Supreme Court, not a single individual
on the list of officials the Union Law Ministry submitted to the Prime

When the government solely appointed retired officials, a five-judge
Constitution bench led by Justice KM Joseph questioned whether the
government was not excluding deserving younger candidates.
