Chandigarh, April 8
Forty-five names forwarded to the Supreme Court by the Centre for appointment as high court judges include five Punjab and Haryana High Court advocates.
Available information suggests the Punjab and Haryana High Court is also among 14 of 25 HCs across the country to have supported the Supreme Court’s proposition to appoint ad hoc judges for prevailing over the vacancy crisis.
Both developments are significant as the Punjab and Haryana High Court is currently working at nearly half its strength. It has 46 judges against the sanctioned strength of 85. The crisis is expected to deepen with the retirement of three more judges later this year.
