NEW DELHI: At the receiving end from the Supreme Court for sitting over recommendations for appointment of judges to high courts, the Centre said on Saturday that it had appointed 126 HC judges this year, the highest in the last 25 years.

The president appointed six more judges last week — five to the Patna HC and one to the Punjab and Haryana HC — to surpass the record of 121 judges appointed by UPA government in 2013. But this record appointment does little to improve the functioning of HCs, which are reeling under 40% vacancies.

For example, the five appointments to the Patna HC takes the tally of judges to 32 against a sanctioned strength of 56. This means, there are still 43% vacancies. In Punjab and Haryana HC, the number of judges with the lone appointment goes to 47 against a sanctioned strength of 85, with 45% of posts still remaining vacant. Government sources said that the record appointment in a single year was also noteworthy since it took place despite the memorandum of procedure (MoP) for appointment of judges still to be finalised.
