Advocates Ajay Digpaul and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar have been appointed to the Delhi High Court, while judicial officer Ashish Naithani will serve as a judge of the Uttarakhand High Court.
The Supreme Court Collegium had recommended the names of Digpaul and Shankar for the Delhi HC in August 2023.
The Centre also notified the appointment of Ashish Naithani, whose name was recommended by the Collegium in December 2024, as a judge of the Uttarakhand HC.
The Collegium had also proposed another advocate, Shwetasree Majumder, for appointment as a judge of the Delhi High Court last year. However, her recommendation is still pending with the government.
