The Ministry of Law and Justice has notified the appointment of five new Judges to the Supreme Court.

The names of Judges who have been appointed as Supreme Court Judges are as follows-

• Justice Pankaj Mithal, Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court, appointed as Supreme Court Judge

• Justice Sanjay Karol, Chief Justice of Patna High Court, appointed as Supreme Court Judge

• Justice PV Sanjay Kumar, Chief Justice of Manipur High Court, appointed as Supreme Court Judge

• Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, Judge of Patna High Court, appointed as Supreme Court Judge

• Justice Manoj Misra, Judge of the Allahabad High Court, appointed as Supreme Court Judge

On December 13, 2022, the Collegium had recommended these five judges of the High Court for their elevation to the Supreme Court.

While hearing pleas relating to the delay on part of the Union in notifying names recommended by the Collegium for appointment as judges in the Supreme Court and various High Courts, the bench of Justice SK Kaul and Justice Abhay S Oka had expressed displeasure over the delay in notifying the appointment of judges.

Following this, Attorney General R Venkataramani assured the Supreme Court that the appointment of five judges in the Supreme Court will be soon notified by the Union.
