The Centre has notified the appointment of Sessions Judge Dharmesh Sharma as an additional judge of the Delhi High Court.
In April, the Supreme Court collegium had recommended the names of three judicial officers of the Delhi Higher Judiciary, including Mr. Sharma, as additional judges of the Delhi High Court.
On Monday, the Union Ministry of Law and Justice announced that the President, in exercise of the power conferred by Clause (1) of Article 224 of the Constitution, has appointed Mr. Sharma as an additional judge for a period of two years, with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office.
Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday congratulated him on Twitter.
With Mr. Sharma’s addition, the working strength of the Delhi High Court will rise to 48, against the sanctioned strength of 60.
