- The Supreme Court Collegium recommended four High Court Chief Justices and one-woman senior advocate for appointment as judges of the Supreme Court.
- The Collegium proposed the name of senior advocate V. Mohana, a lawyer practising in the Supreme Court, as a judge of the apex court.
- Currently, Justice B.V. Nagarathna is the only woman judge in the Supreme Court, and she is also a member of the Supreme Court Collegium.
- The last woman judge was appointed to the Supreme Court in August 2021, and V. Mohana would become the first woman judge appointed after a gap of over five years if approved.
- The recommendations were made after the sanctioned strength of Supreme Court judges, including the Chief Justice of India (CJI), was increased from 32 to 38.
- The four High Court Chief Justices recommended were Sheel Nagu, Shree Chandrashekhar, Sanjeev Sachdeva and Arun Palli.
