The newly appointed Judges are:

- Ramchandra Thakurdas Vachhani
- Jayesh Lakhanshibhai Odedra
- Pranav Maheshbhai Raval
- Mool Chand Tyagi
- Dipak Mansukhlal Vyas

This move is part of the ongoing initiative to enhance the functioning and capacity of the High Courts across the country, ensuring that experienced and eligible judicial officers are elevated to the Bench in a timely manner.
The official notification released by the President’s office read: “In exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution of India, the President of India, after consultation with the Chief Justice of India, is pleased to appoint the following Judicial Officers as Judges of the Gujarat High Court.”
The appointments are expected to improve the disposal rate of pending cases and enhance the efficiency of the Gujarat High Court, which plays a vital role in upholding the legal and constitutional framework of the state.
