Supreme Court Collegium Approves Elevation of 10 Advocates to Punjab and Haryana High Court

The Supreme Court Collegium approved the elevation of 10 advocates, including Haryana's Advocate General Pravindra Singh Chauhan, as judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This move aims to address the court's shortfall, increasing its strength from 58 to 68 judges against a sanctioned 85. The appointments seek to alleviate the backlog of over four lakh pending cases across Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh, improving judicial capacity and case disposal rates once presidential approval is obtained.
