Eight High Court Chief Justices Appointed Amid Pending Recommendations
The Centre has notified the appointment of eight High Court judges as Chief Justices across India. Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced the appointments. This development occurs while 25 recommendations from the Supreme Court Collegium for High Court judges remain pending with the government, including a lawyer's name first recommended in October 2017. The Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court's appointment is noted amidst a recent controversy involving the Acting Chief Justice in that court.
