Centre notifies appointment of 30 judges to four High Courts

The Union government notified the appointment of 30 judges to four High Courts on Saturday. The move is intended to fill vacancies and reduce the pressure of pending cases in the higher judiciary. The Madras High Court received the largest share of appointments. The development is relevant for exam questions on judicial appointments and the functioning of the collegium system. It also has significance for the broader issue of case backlogs in Indian courts. The appointments were highlighted in multiple national news reports. [9][10]
