While recommending the name of Pooniwalla, the SC Collegium had noted that the Intelligence Bureau (IB) had flagged that he had earlier worked under an advocate who had written an article in a publication in 2020 expressing concerns over the alleged lack of freedom of speech/expression in the country in the last five-six years.

"The views which have been expressed by a former senior of Shri Pooniwalla have no bearing on his competence, ability or credentials for appointment as a judge ...," the Collegium had said in its resolution.
