Supreme Court of India:<\/span> In a hectic week, that saw two Judges- Justice Dinesh Maheshwari<\/a> and Justice M.R Shah<\/a> retiring, the Supreme Court of India inducted two new Judges, as Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Sr. Advocate K.V. Viswanathan, took their oath of office administered by Chief Justice of India, Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud today.<\/p>\n

The names of Justice Mishra<\/a> and Justice Viswanathan<\/a> were recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium on 16-05-2023 and in what can be considered as a record, the recommendations were approved by the President within two days. On 18-05-2023, the Law Ministry notified their appointments1<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the retirements of Justices Maheshwari and Shah had brought down the Judges’ strength to 32, with the new inductions today, Supreme Court Judges’ strength<\/a> once again has reached 34. However, the month of June will see the retirement of Justice K.M. Joseph, Justice Ajay Rastogi and Justice V. Ramasubramanian.<\/p>\n
