This decision has been taken after the recommendation of the <strong>Supreme Court Collegium<\/strong>, which identifies suitable candidates from High Courts and the legal fraternity for elevation to the apex court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this appointment, the <strong>total strength of the Supreme Court has increased to 37 judges (excluding the Chief Justice of India)<\/strong>, bringing the judiciary closer to its sanctioned strength. This move is aimed at improving judicial efficiency and reducing the backlog of pending cases across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%A7%91%E2%80%8D%E2%9A%96%EF%B8%8F_Who_Are_the_Newly_Appointed_Judges\"><\/span>\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\u2696\ufe0f Who Are the Newly Appointed Judges?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The five newly appointed judges include experienced Chief Justices of various High Courts and a senior advocate from the Bar. The list reflects a balance of judicial experience and legal expertise, ensuring strong representation in the Supreme Court bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These appointments follow the constitutional provision under <strong>Article 124(2)<\/strong>, which empowers the President to appoint Supreme Court judges after consultation with the Chief Justice of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Judicial_Strength_and_Constitutional_Basis\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Judicial Strength and Constitutional Basis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase in judges comes after the government recently approved an amendment to raise the sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court from <strong>33 to 37 judges<\/strong> (excluding CJI). This reform is part of ongoing judicial restructuring to handle increasing case burdens efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div
