The Central government has notified the appointment of advocate Jai Krishna Upadhyay as a judge of the Allahabad High Court. His name was earlier cleared by the Supreme Court Collegium but was pending during the previous round of judicial appointments.
Out of 26 names cleared by the Supreme Court Collegium, the Centre approved 24 for the Allahabad High Court. Advocates Adnan Ahmad and Jai Krishna Upadhyay were kept pending, raising concerns over selective appointments.
