A recent wave of judicial transfers has reshaped the Delhi High Court, with 10 of its 44 judges now from other states. The appointments mark a major shift in the court’s composition and seniority structure.
The Supreme Court of India, established on January 28, 1950, evolved from historic legal reforms starting with the Regulating Act of 1773. Governed by a collegium system for appointments, it plays a pivotal role in upholding the Constitution’s supremacy. Judges are appointed based on seniority and established eligibility criteria, ensuring judicial integrity.
