The Story in Brief
Six new additional judges were sworn in at the Karnataka High Court on Sunday during a ceremony at the Glass House of Lok Bhavan in Bengaluru. Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot administered the oath to the judges: Raghavendra Seetharam Shrivatsa, Hema Kulkarni, Subrahmanya Rangarao, Tadagawadi Prakash Vivekananda, Bakkeshwara Pramod, and Hombegowda Shanthi Bhushan.
Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru attended the ceremony alongside other judges, advocates, dignitaries, and senior government officials, as reported by Deccan Chronicle.
The Indian Opinion
Some narratives rush to cast every judicial appointment as a political move, but this sworn-in ceremony for six additional judges at the Karnataka High Court followed established collegium procedures. The presence of Chief Minister D K Shivakumar alongside the High Court Chief Justice reflects protocol, not patronage. The real test is whether these judges, once confirmed, will deliver speedy justice and reduce the staggering backlog of cases in the state. A concrete number to track is the pending caseload of the Karnataka High Court six months from now.
