GK and monthly revision
Supreme Court Collegium recommends Chief Justices for four HCs
The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended new Chief Justices for four High Courts — Patna, Calcutta, Bombay, and Punjab & Haryana — as part of its constitutional mandate under Articles 217 and 222. These recommendations, once approved by the President, will fill key judicial vacancies and impact case management across major jurisdictions. The move reflects the Collegium's ongoing role in higher judiciary appointments, a recurring topic in polity and governance sections. Aspirants must track such appointments for factual MCQs on judicial hierarchy, Collegium system, and High Court jurisdictions.
