The Supreme Court Collegium has decided that a committee of two apex court judges will evaluate the judgments of additional judges of high courts to decide their suitability to be made permanent.
The Collegium is led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.
The government had recently urged the Collegium to have a relook at its decision to end the practice of evaluating the judicial performance of additional judges.
A candidate is first appointed as additional judge of a High Court.
He or she serves a probationary period before being appointed a permanent judge.
