Six Judges Sworn In at Delhi HC, Working Strength Rises to 40

Six judges were sworn in at the Delhi High Court on Monday, raising the working strength to 40 against a sanctioned strength of 60. Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya administered the oath.

Justice V Kameswar Rao returned to Delhi after a brief tenure at the Karnataka High Court. The other judges transferred in are: Justice Anil Kshetarpal (Punjab & Haryana HC), Justice Arun Monga (Rajasthan HC), Justice Om Prakash Shukla and Justice Vivek Chaudhary (Allahabad HC), and Justice Nitin Sambre (Bombay HC).

The appointments were based on a Supreme Court Collegium recommendation cleared by the Centre last week.
