Highest number of HC judges will be appointed in 2017: Govt
Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday said the government would be appointing the highest number of High Court judges in 2017, breaking a 30-year-old record of 126 appointments reached in 2016. He announced this in response to a query on the Odisha HC Bar Association's strike against the transfer of a judge despite a shortage in the sanctioned strength.
