Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the appointment of Additional Judges under Article 224 of the Constitution, holding that the appointments were valid as they complied with Article 217(2) and Article 224. The Court clarified that the appointments for less than two years do not violate constitutional provisions, especially since the appointees had previously held judicial office for over ten years. The Court upheld the legality of the appointments, rejecting the petitioner's claims of ineligibility and non-compliance with the stipulated terms.
