A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and JB Pardiwala said the petitioners will be able to supplement the grounds of challenge in the pending petitions.
Out of 77 names recommended by collegium to the government, 34 have been cleared for appointment as high court judges.
"Courts rooms are locked down. Do you want to lock down the judiciary," a bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said, adding, "You cannot bring the entire institution to a grinding halt."
The bench referred to the rising vacancies of judges in the high courts and the increasing number of pending cases.
