The five-member Supreme Court collegium on Thursday briefly met but no decision was taken on the elevation of Chief Justice of Tripura High Court Akhil Kureshi and Karnataka judge Justice Nagarathna to the Supreme Court.

All the five collegium members — CJI S.A. Bobde, Justice N.V. Ramana despite ill health, Justices R.F. Nariman, U.U. Lalit and A.M. Khanwilkar — attended the meeting.

Held in a cordial atmosphere, the meeting remained inconclusive, sources told The Telegraph.

The meeting was held in the backdrop of the superannuation of Justice Bobde on April 23. He will be succeeded by Justice Ramana.

Normally, outgoing CJIs do not convene collegium meetings. However, Justice Bobde presided over the meeting since there is no bar on him convening the meeting, sources said.

Justice Kureshi had remanded Amit Shah to police custody in 2010 in connection with a fake encounter case.
