The three judges are-

Justice Boppana Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Chakravarthi;

Justice Tallapragada Mallikarjuna Rao;

Justice Duppala Venkata Ramana;

On 24 February 2023, the Collegium of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh unanimously recommended that the three Additional Judges whose names are set out above be appointed as permanent Judges of that High Court. The Chief Minister and the Governor of Andhra Pradesh concurred with the above recommendation.

On August 17, 2023, after considering the opinions of the judges involved and acknowledging that the suggested appointees had served for approximately a year, the Collegium postponed further deliberation on the proposal.

Meanwhile, Justice Duppala Venkata Ramana was transferred from the Andhra Pradesh High Court to Madhya Pradesh High Court in October 2023.

As per the resolution issued by the Collegium today, two senior-most judges of the Supreme Court outside the Collegium at the relevant time, held a personal interaction with Justice Ramana on January 29 this year.

They examined the statements of judicial disposal and the judgments authored by Justice Ramana during his tenure of about one and a half year as an additional judge in two High Courts before recommending his confirmation as a permanent judge.
