The Supreme Court collegium on Monday recommended three high court chief justices for elevation to the apex court: Justice Sunita Agarwal (Gujarat HC), Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya (Delhi HC), and Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh (Telangana HC). The collegium, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, sent the names to the Union government for appointment.
If confirmed, the Supreme Court's working strength will rise to 37 against a sanctioned strength of 38. Justice Agarwal's elevation would bring the number of women judges in the top court to two. All three nominees have served as high court judges since 2011 or 2012 and have held chief justice posts from 2023 onward.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same collegium recommendation with no editorial divergence. NDTV leads with Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya, Siasat leads with Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh, and ToI leads with Justice Sunita Agarwal, but none adds commentary or critique. The uniform framing reflects wire-style coverage of a routine judicial appointment process. The relevant fact to watch is whether the government accepts the recommendation, which would raise the Supreme Court's working strength to 37 judges.
