In a significant move, three advocates have been appointed as judges to the Gujarat High Court. The Ministry of Law and Justice officially confirmed the appointments of Sanjeev Jayendra Thaker, Deeptendra Narayan Ray, and Maulik Jitendra Shelat. Their elevation comes after a recommendation by the Supreme Court Collegium on August 13, 2024, which assessed their merit and legal records.
This judicial advancement has been made under the authority of Article 217(1) of the Indian Constitution, with the advocates taking their posts in order of seniority once they assume office. These appointments mark a crucial step in shaping the future of the Gujarat High Court.
