The Supreme Court collegium has approved the appointment of nine advocates as judges of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, following its meeting on October 29, 2026. The recommended advocates are Vishal Sharma, Vikram Kumar Sharma, Namgyal Wangchuk, Pawan Kumar Kundal, Tahir Majid Shamsi, Tabasum Zafar, Amit Gupta, Pranav Kohli, and Anupam Raina.
This comes after the J&K High Court collegium recommended 11 names in April 2026, including 10 from the Bar quota and one from the Bench quota. The Supreme Court collegium dropped two names — advocate Jahangir Iqbal Ganai and judicial officer Yash Paul Bourney — from the final list.
