Two new judges have been appointed to the Supreme Court, as the government has cleared the Collegium's recommendation to elevate Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and SV Bhatti.
Their appointments have been confirmed by President Droupadi Murmu.
Justice Bhuyan was currently the Chief Justice of Telangana High Court, whereas, Justice Bhatti was presently the Chief Justice of Kerala High Court.
With the appointment of Justices Bhuyan and Bhatti, the strength of the Supreme Court has increased to 32, as against the sanctioned strength of 34.
This is, notably, the 11th appointment to the top court made this year. The previous round of appointments was given the nod in May when Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and KV Viswanathan were elevated to the SC.
This is also the first set of appointments to be cleared after the formation of the new Collegium that includes Justices Surya Kant and BR Gavai.
