The recommendations come days after the Union government formally increased the sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court from 33 to 37 judges, excluding the CJI, through the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Amendment Ordinance, 2026.

The May 16-move was aimed at addressing mounting pendency, which has crossed 92,000 cases, and facilitating regular constitution benches.
With the latest recommendations, the collegium, also comprising justices Vikram Nath, JK Maheshwari, BV Nagarathna and MM Sundresh, has sought to balance regional representation, judicial seniority, merit and gender diversity in the composition of the apex court.
Among the recommended judges, Justice Sheel Nagu currently heads the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Originally from the Madhya Pradesh High Court, he was elevated as a judge there in 2011 before being appointed chief justice of the Punjab and Haryana high court in 2024. He is known for his work in constitutional, service and administrative law matters.
