Government appoints 33 judges in 6 high courts

New Delhi: The government has notified appointment of 33 judges in high courts of Kerala, Allahabad, Rajasthan, Gauhati, Bombay and Gujarat in the last three days. They are all additional judges appointed as specified judges in these six high courts.

The government also announced the appointment of justice Ramalingam Sudhakar as the acting chief justice of the J&K high court. Justice Sudhakar is the senior-most judge of the J&K HC.

According to law ministry notifications, five additional judges were made permanent in Kerala HC; four in the Allahabad HC; 10 in the Rajasthan HC; six in the Bombay HC; seven in the Gujarat HC and one in the Gauhati HC.

Additional judges are chosen for a two-year term and then based on their performance these judges are made  permanent. As on March 1, 2018, the 24 high courts in the country had a working strength of 673 judges with 406 positions vacant. Shortage of adequate number of judges is cited as one of the major reasons for pendency of   high number of cases.
