Representative image NAGPUR: Justice Pushpa Ganediwala, whose recent verdicts invited criticism, has only been given a 1-year extension as additional judge after the Supreme Court collegium refused to elevate her as a permanent judge of the Bombay high court. Her term had ended on Saturday. Senior administrative judge at Nagpur bench, Nitin Jamdar, administered the oath to her in the presence of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta who attended the ceremony online from Mumbai. The apex court’s collegium had recommended two years’ extension to Ganediwala after withdrawing its earlier suggestion to make her a permanent judge. However, the Union ministry for law and justice refused it citing her “controversial” judgments.
