The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the elevation of Justice Alok Aradhe, Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, and Justice Vipul Manubhai Pancholi, Chief Justice of the Patna High Court, as Supreme Court Judges.

Justice Aradhe originally belongs to the Madhya Pradesh High Court and Justice Pancholi to the Gujarat High Court. The recommendation was made by the SC Collegium in its meeting held today.

The Supreme Court presently has two vacancies out of its strength of 34 judges due to the recent retirements of Justices Bela Trivedi and Sudhanshu Dhulia.
