On Monday, seven judges will be sworn in to the Delhi High Court, increasing its total number of judges to 50. This appointment is part of an ongoing effort to strengthen the judiciary in the region.
Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya will administer the oath to Nivedita Anil Sharma, Nisha Sahay Saxena, Sanjay Sharma, Bharat Parashar, Aditi Choudhary, Dinesh Bhatt and Arun Bhardwaj, who were serving as judicial officers in the district judiciary here. The swearing-in ceremony will be held in the high court premises at 10 am. The central government notified the seven new appointments on September 19 after the Supreme Court collegium made a recommendation in favour of these judicial officers. The sanctioned strength of the high court is 60 and with the seven new appointments, its current strength will rise to 50.
