Punjab & Haryana HC Gets Boost: Ten New Judges Sworn In
Ten additional judges were sworn in at the Punjab and Haryana High Court on August 4, 2025. This brings the total number of judges to 59.
The appointments aim to tackle the massive backlog of 433,720 pending cases. The High Court is significantly burdened by this caseload.
While this is a welcome step, the sheer volume of pending cases requires further judicial appointments. The process, however, is known to be protracted.
More judges are expected to be appointed in the coming months, offering some hope to litigants facing lengthy delays. The timely resolution of cases is crucial for upholding the rule of law and public faith in the judicial system. The impact of these new appointments on reducing the backlog will be closely monitored.
