The Centre has cleared the Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendation to appoint five new judges to the apex court.
The Collegium system has become a major flashpoint between the Supreme Court and the Centre with the mechanism of judges appointing judges drawing criticism from different quarters.
Rajasthan High Court Chief Justice Pankaj Mithal, Patna High Court Chief Justice Sanjay Karol, Manipur High Court Chief Justice PV Sanjay Kumar, Patna High Court judge Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Allahabad High Court judge Manoj Misra will now be Supreme Court judges.
The top court, which has a sanctioned strength of 34 judges including the Chief Justice, is functioning with 27 judges presently.
