The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended Justice Lisa Gill as the next Chief Justice of the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Currently serving as a senior judge at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, she brings extensive judicial experience. Once the central government approves her appointment, she will take charge and lead the AP High Court, ensuring continuity and efficiency in judicial administration. Her appointment is expected to strengthen the state’s legal system and inspire confidence among litigants.
Collegium Acts Early to Prevent Delays
To avoid leadership gaps, the Collegium now selects successors two months before the current Chief Justice retires. By doing so, the court ensures uninterrupted functioning. This proactive approach allows the judiciary to maintain smooth operations and reduces the risk of administrative delays.
