AHMEDABAD: The central government on Saturday notified the appointment of seven new
judges
in the
Gujarat
high court. The Union government has approved and the President appointed all the seven advocates practising in the high court and the Supreme Court as recommended by the SC collegium last month for elevation to the bench.
Those who have been appointed as judges are Mauna Bhatt, Samir Dave, Hemant Prachchhak, Sandeep Bhatt, Aniruddha Mayee, Niral Mehta and Nisha Thakore.
Of them, Thakore was an assistant government pleader in the high court and Mayee represented the state of Gujarat in the Supreme Court. Mauna Bhatt has a three-decade practice with expertise in income tax, labour and service laws.
With the seven new judges, the HC’s strength will go up to 32, against the sanctioned strength of 52 judges. The HC got its new Chief Justice, Aravind Kumar, earlier this week. In the last two month, two judges — Chief Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Bela Trivedi — were elevated to the SC.
