Twenty-six judges were appointed to six high courts on Friday, bringing the total number of HC judges appointed so far this year to a record 127.

The previous record was achieved in 2016 when 126 high court judges were appointed during the first tenure of the Narendra Modi government, sources pointed out.

Of those elevated as additional judges and judges on Friday, 20 were judicial officers and six advocates.

While two judges each have been appointed to the high courts of Orissa, Himachal Pradesh and Gauhati, five have been appointed to the Karnataka HC.

Six judges have been appointed to the Telangana High Court and nine to the Allahabad HC.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
