News India Live, Digital Desk: Big news is coming out from the judicial corridors of Bihar. The Supreme Court Collegium has taken a big step to overcome the shortage of judges in Patna High Court. The collegium headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud has approved the proposal for appointment of 9 new judges in Patna High Court.

Will become judges after being promoted from judicial service

The special thing in this recommendation made by the Supreme Court is that all these 9 names are of officers associated with the Judicial Service. These officers have been recommended to be promoted as High Court judges on the basis of their excellent career and experience. After getting the green signal from the Central Government, warrants of their appointment will be issued by the President.

These 9 names have been approved (probable list):

The names of judicial officers recommended by the Collegium include:

Shailendra Pandey

Arun Kumar Jha

Jitendra Kumar

Alok Kumar Pandey

Sunil Kumar Panwar

Chandra Prakash Singh

Chandra Shekhar Jha

Lakshman Reddy (Related to judicial quota)

Number of pending cases will reduce in Patna High Court

At present, more posts of judges are vacant in Patna High Court than the sanctioned posts. Due to less number of judges, the pendency of cases is continuously increasing. The arrival of these 9 new judges will not only increase the efficiency of the High Court, but will also give hope to the common people of Bihar to get justice soon.

What is the appointment process?

After the names are recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium, this file is sent to the Union Ministry of Law and Justice. After investigation by the Ministry and the Intelligence Bureau (IB), the file reaches the President through the Prime Minister’s Office. The appointment of judges becomes official once they are signed by the President and they are sworn in.
