The Supreme Court refuses to quash Justice Dalveer Bhandari's nomination to the International Court of Justice, says PTI.   

Justice Bhandari has authored judgments that requested Parliament to take a fresh look at divorce laws to permit irretrievably break down of marriage as a ground for annulling it, attempted to make the public distribution network for subsidized ration for poor responsive and pressurized government to provide free night shelters to urban homeless and poor suffering in open in biting cold conditions.

The chance for India to put its nominee up for selection as a judge in ICJ came after Jordan's king sacked his prime minister and brought back ICJ judge Justice Awn Shawkat Al-Khasawneh to take the reins of the administration. India's support helped Justice Al-Khasawneh to get elected to ICJ.
