HYDERABAD: Four newly-appointed judges of the Telangana High Court were sworn in on Thursday.
Ghouse Meera Mohiuddin, Chalapathi Rao Suddala, Vakiti Ramakrishna Reddy and Gadi Praveen Kumar took oath as judges at a ceremony held at the High Court.
Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh administered the oath.
President Droupadi Murmu on Monday appointed four advocates as Additional Judges of the Telangana High Court. They would be Additional Judges for two years from the date they assume charge of their respective offices.
About a month ago, the Supreme Court Collegium approved a resolution elevating four advocates as judges of the Telangana High Court. The names were sent to the collegium by the High Court a year ago.
With their appointment, the number of judges of the High Court has gone up to 29 in addition to the Chief Justice.
Legal fraternity members in Telangana welcomed the appointments and expressed hope that this would further enhance the delivery of justice and judicial efficiency in the state.
