Three judicial officers, Manoj Prasad, Akhil Kumar and Ram Sharma, were sworn in as judges of the Jharkhand High Court on September 23, 2026. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice MS Sonak. The Central Government had notified their appointment as High Court judges last week.
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.
