Justice Dharmesh Sharma Sworn-In As Additional Judge Of Delhi High Court

Justice Dharmesh Sharma was sworn-in as an additional judge of the Delhi High Court on Wednesday.

The oath was administered by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. The appointment was notified by the Union Government earlier this week.

Sharma, an officer of Delhi Higher Judicial Services, was earlier Principal District and Sessions Judge of Dwarka Courts (South West District).

The announcement of Sharma’s appointment was made by Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Twitter. He wrote, “In exercise of power conferred under the Constitution, Shri Dharmesh Sharma, Judicial Officer is appointed as Additional Judge of Delhi High Court. I extend my best wishes to him.”

In April, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended names of three judicial officers for their appointment as additional judges of the Delhi High Court, including Sharma. Other two judges, Girish Kathpalia and Manoj Jain, were appointed as additional judges of the High Court last month.
