Centre Approves Appointment of Five Additional Judges to Kerala HC

The Central government on Tuesday approved the appointment of five judicial officers as additional judges of the Kerala High Court, announced Union Law Minister of State (Independent Charge) Arjun Ram Meghwal in a tweet.

The judicial officers who have been appointed are:

KV Jayakumar;
Muralee Krishna S;
Jobin Sebastian;
PV Balakrishnan;
PP Krishna Kumar.

The Supreme Court Collegium recommended their appointments through a resolution dated October 15. Of the five names, four were proposed for the first time on October 15, while PP Krishna Kumar's name had initially been recommended last October.

Since his appointment was still pending Central government clearance, the Collegium reiterated his name in this year's October 15 resolution.

As of October 15, the Kerala High Court has 40 judges in place against a sanctioned strength of 47.
