The Department of Justice in the Law Ministry tweeted a list of the new appointees — seven judicial officers and two advocates — to five High Courts. Four judges were appointed to the Jharkhand High Court and two to the Patna High Court.
One judge each has been appointed to the High Courts in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala. Advocate-General of Madhya Pradesh Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav has been appointed judge of the state HC. Notifications announcing their appointment were later issued by the Law Ministry.
