Supreme Court Collegium had approved a proposal to elevate seven advocates and five judicial officers as judges for Telangana High Court.
Once the proposal receives the assent of the President, the Telangana High Court, which was created on January 1, 2019, would have 30 judges in addition to the Chief Justice. Presently, the HC has 8 judges.
The Telangana HC sanctioned Bench strength was 24. With the Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana taking up the matter of enhancing the sanctioned Bench strength of Telangana HC in the backdrop of 237 lakh pending cases, the Union Law Ministry finally approved the proposal on June 7, 2021 to increase the Bench strength from 24 to 42. The CJI gave the required approval the next day.
