The Supreme Court Collegium recommended their appointment after the Collegium of the Punjab & Haryana High Court had unanimously forwarded its recommendation for these names on May 20.

The SC Collegium said that it has consulted other Judges of the Supreme Court who are conversant with the affairs of the Punjab & Haryana High Court in terms of the Memorandum of Procedure.

The SC Collegium said that these 11 additional judges are fit and suitable for being appointed as permanent judges against the existing vacancies.
