Supreme Court Collegium led by CJI Surya Kant approved elevation of ten advocates as judges to Punjab and Haryana High Court, aiming to strengthen judicial capacity.
The first 100 days of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant have focused on tackling the Supreme Court’s massive case backlog, promoting mediation, and tightening court procedures. His early tenure signals administrative reforms, stricter case-listing rules, and key decisions that could shape the judiciary in 2026.
The Allahabad High Court Bar Association has written a strongly worded letter to the President of India, copying the Chief Justice of India and Union Law Minister, opposing the Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendation to appoint five retired judges as ad-hoc judges for two years at Allahabad High Court.
