Centre Appoints Eight New High Court Chief Justices Following Supreme Court Pressure

The appointments come after the Supreme Court emphasized the binding nature of the collegium's recommendations.

Justices Nitin Jamdar and KR Shriram have been elevated to Chief Justices of Kerala and Madras High Courts, respectively.
The Supreme Court's intervention highlighted delays in the government's processing of judicial appointments.
The Supreme Court Collegium's recommendations were initially made in July and revised in September.
Other appointments include Justices Manmohan, Rajiv Shakdher, Suresh Kait, Indra Prasanna Mukerji, and Tashi Rabstan to various high courts.
The ongoing tension between the judiciary and the executive over judicial appointments underscores the need for a more transparent and efficient process.
