The Collegium said that in seniority of HC Judges, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari stands below Justice H.G. Ramesh (currently acting Chief Justice of Karnataka HC Court), since the latter on an earlier occasion had chosen to deny himself the Chief Justiceship of High Court, his junior in service has been appointed to the post.
