J&K HC judicial vacancy down to 1 after SC clears six names

The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) will get six new judges, reducing its shortfall of seven judges to one according to Greater Kashmir’s information from “highly placed sources”. The Supreme Court’s collegium has cleared the names of two senior district judges and four lawyers which were pending since a year for the posts.

The names approved include CBI Special Court judge Jammu BL Bhat, registrar general J&K High Court Janak Raj Kotwal, senior additional advocate general Srinagar Ali Muhammad Magray, senior advocate DS Thakur and advocates Azhar-ul-Amin and Tashi Robertson, according to confirmation from a state law department official.

Currently, more than 80,000 cases are pending in the high court. [Greater Kashmir]
