Judicial Appointments and Policy Review at Delhi High Court

In a significant development for the judiciary, three new judges, Justices Dinesh Mehta, Avneesh Jhingan, and Chandrasekharan Sudha, were formally inducted into the Delhi High Court on Tuesday. Their swearing-in marks a crucial expansion of the bench at a time when handling case load effectively is imperative.

In another ruling, the Delhi High Court addressed the controversial issue involving teachers' salaries and school fee hikes. It held that setting up committees to resolve such matters equates to assigning judicial responsibilities to unauthorized bodies, which, according to the court, is legally unsustainable.

The court's decision underscores its stance that judicial duties should remain within the judicial purview and not be dispersed among makeshift panels, protecting the integrity of legal proceedings.
