Ex-Supreme Court judge, Justice Abhay S Oka, said that the public deserves to know why Justice BV Nagarathna dissented against Patna High Court Chief Justice Vipul Pancholi's elevation to the Supreme Court. "I want to know what the criteria for selection are," he added. Notably, Nagarathna had reportedly warned that his elevation would be "counter-productive" to the administration of justice.
