The Supreme Court Collegium recommended appointment of advocates Preeta Aravindan Krishnamma and Liz Mathew Anthraper as judges of Kerala High Court. The decision was taken during its April 14 meeting, advancing judicial appointments in the High Court.
122 days into CJI Surya Kant’s tenure, no Supreme Court judge has been appointed despite one vacancy. The delay raises questions as past Collegiums usually made recommendations much earlier.
The Supreme Court Collegium on March 24, 2026 approved elevation of Additional Judges as Permanent Judges in Chhattisgarh High Court and Madras High Court, strengthening judicial capacity and ensuring continuity in adjudication.
Supreme Court Justice Dipankar Datta said the Collegium did not always protect judges who showed courage and integrity in the past. He warned that lack of protection may discourage judges from choosing ethics over career growth.
