New Delhi, May 30 -- The Union government on Thursday formally notified the appointment of three new judges to the Supreme Court, a day after President Droupadi Murmu gave her assent to the collegium's recommendations. The move comes as a significant development in the judiciary and confirms Hindustan Times' earlier report that the appointments were expected to come through during the day. Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced the appointments on X. "In exercise of the powers conferred by the Constitution of India, the President, after consultation with Chief Justice of India, is pleased to appoint S/Shri Justices (i) N.V. Anjaria, Chief Justice, High Court of Karnataka, (ii) Vijay Bishnoi, Chief Justice, High Court of Gauhati, and (iii) A.S. Chandurkar, Judge, High Court of Bombay as Judges of the Supreme Court of India," Meghwal wrote. The three judges are expected to be sworn in by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Bhushan R Gavai on Friday morning. The files concerning the appointments reached President Murmu on Wednesday and received her approval. The formal notification from the law ministry, issued Thursday afternoon, completes the process initiated by the Supreme Court collegium on May 26. The appointments mark a strong start to the tenure of CJI Gavai, who took office earlier this month. With the induction of Justices Anjaria, Bishnoi, and Chandurkar, the apex court has reached its full sanctioned strength of 34 judges. P4...
