Why did not consider the acting CJ because SHE was appointed while on the way home?

IF I WAS GIVEN THE CHIEF JUSTICE POST, I WOULD DRIVE OUT ALL POLITICIANS , INCLUDING THE PREZ AND PM, OUT OF THE SUPREME COURT. ......... AMMAPA !!!

Wish you all the best Mr CJ.

It is gratifying to see a good career judge elevated from the ranks as in the past two decades we had outsiders parachuted to this high and exemplary post - of course past examples are best forgotten. It started with a retired CJ accepting to become a Presidential Advisor.

Way back to correcting CJ selection. President has shown his willingness.
