The Centre has appointed two judicial officers from Haryana, Ramesh Chander Dimri and Neerja Kulwant Kalson, as Additional Judges to the Punjab and Haryana High Court. This elevation, recommended by the Supreme Court collegium, increases the court's working strength to 61 judges. The appointments aim to address the High Court's backlog of over 4.2 lakh pending cases, which has seen a slight decrease recently.
