The Union government on Friday (31.03.2023) cleared the appointment of senior Advocate Harpreet Singh Brar as Additional Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The appointment was made after the Supreme Court Collegium reiterated Senior Advocate Brar’s name on March 22.
His name was initially recommended by the Collegium for elevation on July 25, 2022. But the appointment was kept in abeyance after the Department of Justice flagged certain issues. The Collegium reiterated Brar’s name after seeking fresh inputs. “After examining all aspects of the matter, the Collegium is of the view that Harpreet Singh Brar is fit and suitable for appointment as Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court,” said the Collegium comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice KM Joseph.
