Six new Supreme Court judges took oath in a ceremony that brought India’s apex court to a record 38-member bench, matching the expanded sanctioned strength approved by Parliament.
The appointments aim to accelerate disposal of constitution bench matters and commercial appeals that have lingered for years on crowded dockets.
Legal journalists noted the event coincided with broader public debate about judicial delays even as headcount reaches historic highs.
The new justices will be allotted miscellaneous and appellate portfolios after the chief justice’s roster notification expected later this month.
