There are also 60 recommendations that have been remitted to the High Courts for reconsideration. The High Court collegiums are not adhering to the timeline for initiating recommendations against vacancies, leading to a backlog. Currently, 29% of judges' posts in 25 high courts are vacant, with 324 vacancies as of December 1. The government has appointed 165 judges in 2022 and 110 judges in 2023.
