The Union Government has notified the appointment of judicial officer Dharmesh Sharma as an additional judge of the Delhi High Court.

Sharma, an officer of Delhi Higher Judicial Services, was earlier Principal District and Sessions Judge of Dwarka Courts (South West District).

The announcement has been made by Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Twitter. He wrote, “In exercise of power conferred under the Constitution, Shri Dharmesh Sharma, Judicial Officer is appointed as Additional Judge of Delhi High Court. I extend my best wishes to him.”

In April, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended names of three judicial officers for their appointment as additional judges of the Delhi High Court, including Sharma. Other two judges, Girish Kathpalia and Manoj Jain, were appointed as additional judges of the High Court last month.
