New Delhi (22.09.2024): Apparently to avoid another embarrassment due to likely adverse comment/order from the Supreme Court, the Central Government swung in action and immediately notified the appointment of Chief Justices of eight High Courts. It may be underlined that the Jharkhand Govt had filed a contempt petition against the Centre for delay in the appointment of Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court. 
The names of newly appointed chief justices are as follows:
  1. Justice Manmohan, acting CJ of Delhi High Court, has been appointed as Chief Justice of Delhi High Court
  2. Justice Rajiv Shakdher, Judge of Delhi HC, has been appointed as Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court.
  3. Justice Suresh Kumar Kait, Judge of Delhi HC, has been appointed as Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh High Court.
