Justice Amit Sharma Sworn In As Permanent Judge Of Delhi High Court

Justice Amit Sharma on Monday was sworn in as a permanent judge of Delhi High Court. Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma administered the oath to him in the presence of other judges.

On May 31, 2022, Central Government had notified the appointment of Justice Amit Sharma, who was practicing as a lawyer earlier, as Additional Judge of Delhi High Court. He took oath as the Additional Judge on June 01, 2022. His name was recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium for elevation as the judge of the Delhi High Court in November 2021.

Last month, the Supreme Court Collegium recommended that Justice Sharma be made a permanent judge against an existing vacancy.

“Having regard to all the relevant factors, the Collegium is of the considered view that Shri Justice Amit Sharma, Additional Judge, is suitable for being appointed as a Permanent Judge of the High Court of Delhi,” the Collegium said.

Delhi High Court’s Collegium earlier on January 09 had unanimously recommended name of Justice Sharma for appointment as a permanent judge of the court. Following the Supreme Court Collegium's recommendation, the Centre last week issued the notification for appointment of Justice Sharma as a permanent judge.
