• Delhi will receive Justices Dinesh Mehta and Avneesh Jhinghan from Rajasthan and Justice C. Sudha from Kerala, with Mehta set to become the court’s fourth most senior judge.
• The reshuffle marks the third overhaul affecting Delhi this year and leaves it with the highest number of judges from outside, reported as nine.
• The notifications gave no reasons; Hindustan Times cited people familiar saying adverse reports informed the transfers of Monga and Ganju, a claim several lawyers disputed.
• The 11-judge package also relocates judges among Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Allahabad, Patna, Calcutta, Madras, and Madhya Pradesh high courts pursuant to earlier collegium recommendations.
