The Supreme Court collegium has put forward the chief justices of Gujarat, Delhi and Telangana high courts for elevation to the apex court, sources said.
The Supreme Court collegium, headed by the Chief Justice of India, has recommended the chief justices of the Gujarat, Delhi and Telangana high courts for appointment as judges of the Supreme Court. The recommendation, conveyed to the government, reflects the collegium’s routine assessment of seniority, merit and regional balance.
Under the constitutional process, the collegium’s advice is sent to the Ministry of Law and Justice, after which the President of India formally appoints the judges. The three high‑court chief justices are expected to undergo the standard vetting and clearance procedures before any official notification is issued.
The move underscores the collegium’s intent to maintain a diverse bench, drawing from different parts of the country. It also signals the continuation of the established practice of elevating experienced high‑court chief justices to the nation’s highest judicial forum.
The government will now review the recommendations and forward its concurrence to the President, after which the appointments could be announced in the official Gazette.
