This is a very good development because it shows that the collegium is now looking into appointing NLU alumni (who are mostly non-nepo kids) as judges. They will bring a lot of value than the current lot of judges. The only concern I have is that other NLUs like NALSAR should also be considered. NLSIU should not become a coterie like Stephen's/DU or GLC has become. Also, the trend of appointing NLU alumni judges must continue after Chandrachud retires. We can't again go back to the Stephen's/DU and GLC nepo kids coterie.
P.S. I can confirm that Gopal Shanks is NOT one of the four names. He will anyway need to lie low for a bit, after his name was needlessly smeared because of a stupid fight over a Rottweiler by two megalomaniacs.

Suraj Govindraj, MI Arun and Sunil Dutt Yadav (Karnataka HC)
Aditya Sondhi was also recommended but name was blocked by current Govt.
So it is an organic process which is bound to continue as more graduates establish themselves in the profession.

Very unfair, of course, but maybe a lesson to be careful about what you say on social media and blogs? And delete some old tweets and posts. 😉
