The Centre has approved the appointment of chief justices for four high courts and a woman advocate as a judge of the Supreme Court, marking a significant step in filling judicial vacancies. The appointments were cleared by the Ministry of Law and Justice following recommendations from the Supreme Court Collegium.
High Court Appointments
Chief justices have been appointed for the high courts of Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Uttarakhand. The new chief justices will assume office shortly, bringing their experience to these benches.
Supreme Court Appointment
A woman advocate has been elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court, becoming one of the few women to serve on the apex court. This appointment underscores the government's commitment to gender diversity in the judiciary.
The judicial appointments are part of ongoing efforts to address vacancies in higher judiciary. The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended these names, and the Centre's approval ensures timely filling of positions.
