| Controversy | In 2023, after Victoria Gowri's name was recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium for elevation as the additional judge of the Madras High Court, a group of 21 lawyers from the Madras High Court opposed the recommendation and filed a petition in the Supreme Court of India to cancel her appointment. The lawyers cited instances where Victoria Gowri was seen giving hate remarks against minorities like Muslims and Christainity. They also alleged that Victoria Gowri was associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party. On 7 February 2023, while Gowri was taking the oath as the additional judge of the Madras High Court, a Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud dismissed the petition, saying that she has been elevated based on her competence and suitability and that her eligibility was never in question. The bench further said that it cannot direct the Collegium to reconsider its recommendation. check sources NDTV |
