Supreme Court gets three new judges; strength rises to 37
Three new judges were sworn in at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the first oath ever held in the afternoon, taking the strength to 37. The Hindu and Hindustan Times reported it.
Vacancies slow hearings; a full bench strength helps clear the backlog.
More benches can mean shorter waits for pending appeals.
The pending-case figure, not the strength, is the real measure.
