Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition challenging the appointment of Additional Judges of the Rajasthan High Court under Article 224 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the appointments were valid as they complied with Article 217(2) and Article 224, noting that the judges had previously held judicial office for the requisite period and their appointments were made before reaching the age of superannuation. The Court clarified that the judgments cited by the petitioner did not support his claims regarding the invalidity of the appointments.
