The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended 26 new judges to the Allahabad High Court, including 12 lawyers and 14 judicial officers. This recommendation aims to reduce the burden of pending cases, enhance judicial efficiency, and strengthen the overall justice delivery system in Uttar Pradesh.
The recommended lawyers include Senior Advocates Garima Prashad, Swarupama Chaturvedi, and Abdhesh Kumar Chaudhary, who practice at the Supreme Court. Garima Prashad is also the Additional Advocate General of Uttar Pradesh. Other notable lawyers recommended are Vivek Saran, Adnan Ahmad, and Vivek Kumar Singh.
The judicial officers recommended for judgeship are Dr. Ajay Kumar-II, Chawan Prakash, Divesh Chandra Samant, Prashant Mishra-I, Tarun Saxena, Rajeev Bharti, Padam Narain Mishra, Lakshmi Kant Shukla, Jai Prakash Tiwari, Devendra Singh-I, Sanjiv Kumar, Vani Ranjan Agrawal, Achal Sachdev, and Babita Rani.
This development is significant for the Indian judiciary, as the Allahabad High Court is one of the oldest and largest High Courts in India, handling a massive volume of cases. The appointment of these 26 judges will likely bring much-needed relief to the court’s workload.
