The Calcutta Bar opposed the Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendation to transfer Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma to the Calcutta High Court. On March 27, the Collegium proposed shifting the Delhi High Court judge to Calcutta, sparking resistance from the legal fraternity.
Justices Renu Bhatnagar and Rajneesh Kumar Gupta were sworn in as judges of the Delhi High Court. With their appointment, the court’s working strength has increased to 41, while the sanctioned strength stands at 60. This addition is expected to enhance judicial efficiency. However, a considerable number of positions remain vacant.
