Collegium Clears Elevation of Four Telangana High Court Judges to Permanent Status

The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended that four additional judges of the Telangana High Court be appointed as permanent judges. The decision was taken in a meeting held on April 14, 2026.

The judges include Justices Yara Renuka, Nandikonda Narsing Rao, E. Tirumala Devi, and B.R. Madhusudhan Rao, who were appointed as additional judges in 2025.

The recommendation aims to strengthen the High Court, which is currently functioning with significant vacancies against its sanctioned strength.

The proposal will now be sent to the Central government for final approval and notification under the constitutional appointment process.
