Four new Justices took oath including a women Justice in Delhi High Court on May 27.

Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar, Justice Talwant Singh, Justice Asha Menon and Justice Brijesh Sethi were administered the oath of office by Delhi High Court Chief Justice Rajendra Menon.

President of India had cleared their nomination after the Supreme Court Collegium recommended their names for elevation earlier this month. After the new appointments, the High Court strength has been increased to 40.

Last year in October, Justices Prateek Jalan, Anup Jairam Bhambhani, Sanjeev Narula and Jyoti Singh took oath as Judges.

Thereafter Senior Advocate Manoj Ohri has taken oath as Delhi High Court judge.
