In a significant development on February 20, 2025, the Supreme Court Collegium has greenlit the appointment of five distinguished advocates to the bench of the Patna High Court. This move marks a crucial step in bolstering the judiciary’s strength at the state level.
The following advocates have been recommended for judgeship:
- Shri Alok Kumar Sinha
- Shri Ritesh Kumar
- Smt. Soni Shrivastava
- Shri Sourendra Pandey
- Shri Ansul @ Anshul Raj
These appointments come at a pivotal time when the Patna High Court is dealing with a substantial backlog of cases. The inclusion of these seasoned advocates as high court judges is expected to significantly enhance the judicial process and alleviate the burden on the court.
