Hyderabad: The Centre has extended the term of nine additional judges of the Hyderabad High Court for three months.
Those who got the extension include Justices B. Siva Shankar Rao, M. Seetharama Murthy, S. Ravi Kumar, U. Durga Prasad Rao, T. Sunil Chowdary, M. Satyanarayana Murthy, M.S.K. Jaiswal, A. Shankar Narayana and Ms Anis. The nine judges were appointed as additional judges in October 2013.
As per the rules, all the nine judges have to become permanent judge. However, a stalemate caused by the NJAC Act, and the collegium of the Supreme Court, which had become defunct for a while, could not make any recommendation to the President on judges.
