Advocate Karia recommended for appointment as HC judge

New Delhi, August 29

The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended advocate Tejas Dhirenbhai Karia’s name for appointment as a judge in the Delhi High Court. On October 25, 2023, the then chief justice of the Delhi High Court had, in consultation with his two seniormost colleagues, made this recommendation.

“Our sole consultee-judge is of the view that the candidate is a domain specialist and has practised mainly in the field of arbitration, and his appearances in the high court may not be as many as would be expected, but his appearances in matters of significance before the arbitration tribunals make up for that,” the Collegium said.

It added that the candidate was a domain expert in the law of arbitration and pointed out that the volume of cases on arbitration law requires specialised handling, particularly in the Delhi HC.
