If the names of four advocates sent to the Supreme Court in December 2023 are also approved, the bench strength could rise to 34.

There is notable discontent within the Bar regarding the delay in clearing the advocates’ names, as it has been over a year since their submission, while district judges who were nominated only seven months ago have already been elevated to the High Court.
