New Delhi: The central government announced on Thursday the appointment of 14 new additional judges at the Supreme Court in Mumbai.
The new appointment is Siddheshwar Sundaro Thombre, Mehroz Ashraf Khan Pathan, Ranjitsinha Raja Bhonsale, Nandesh Shankarrao Deshapande, Amit Satyavan Jamsandekar, Ashish Sahadev Chavan, Sandesh DadasaB Patil, Vaishali Nimbajraj. Dharmaji Shinde, Shreram vinaak Shirsat, Hiten Shambar, Farhan Parvez Dubash, Rajnish Ratnakar Vyas and Raj Damodar Wakode.
The Supreme Court recommended these advocates to become judges at Bombay High Court on 19 August, but the center appointed them as another judge.
Other judges do not have long -term security in their work and are generally appointed to deal with temporary pending in certain jurisdictions, while the possession of judges appointed by the government is permanent.
Such deviations from the recommendations of the Supreme Court are not unusual, the lawyers said.
“It is a routine procedure to appoint new judges who do not have experience on the bench, as other judges under Article 224 of the Constitution, for two years.
The judicial appointment of the Center assumes importance due to the massive pendant of lawsuits in Indian courts and the unoccupation of the courts. According to data from the Ministry of Justice, since June 2024, there were 345 vacancies of judges. This shows that about one third of the positions of the High Court judge was unoccupied.
The delay in the meetings forced the denominator to resign from their positions, even though they nodded from the college. For example, July 5, a lawyer of intellectual property rights Shwetasree Majumder withdrew her consent to Judgeship after the government did not find her as a judge in the Delhi High Court after a college recommended last August, Livelaw, legal news.
