The Central Government notified the appointment of seven advocates as judges of the Patna High Court. The appointments aim to strengthen judicial capacity, reduce vacancies, and address the growing backlog of pending cases, following recommendations made by the Supreme Court Collegium.
The Supreme Court Collegium approved twelve judicial appointment proposals across the Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab and Haryana High Courts, including promotions of judicial officers, elevation of advocates to the bench, and regularization of additional judges to strengthen judicial capacity.
