In a major step towards bolstering the higher judiciary, the Supreme Court Collegium, during its meeting on July 2, 2025, recommended the appointment of 33 individuals as Judges in six different High Courts. The list comprises both judicial officers and practicing advocates.
The Supreme Court Today (August 12th) rejected a public interest litigation (PIL) petition highlighting the delays by High Courts in deciding election petitions. A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said that the fault is not with High Courts since they are overburdened with work and there is shortage of judges.
