Second, after the election results, Kishore Datta will try to exert undue influence, like last time.
Third, unlike last time, things will be very different this time. Last time, the CJI was Gogoi and he nominated Rajendra Mishra. Two terrible judges with zero concern for legal education. This time, Chandrachud will be around till Nov 2024 and Khanna till May 2025. They won't be as apathetic. Also, they will probably delegate the matter to Justice Dipankar Datta, as the senior-most SC judge from the Calcutta HC. Even if Kishore delays matters till after May 2025, when gave takes over, Dipankar Datta will still probably be the CJI's nominee. Now, if the TMC does as badly as opinion polls suggest, the government will be on the backfoot and no SC judge will want to appease them. On the contrary, they will cut down Kishore Datta to size.
