    Parent High Court: Allahabad High Court

  2. Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya — Chief Justice, Delhi High Court
    Parent High Court: Allahabad High Court

The recommendation of Justice Sunita Agarwal is also notable as it adds another woman judge to the proposed composition of the Supreme Court. However, the Collegium's recommendation is part of the judicial appointments process and the appointment formally follows the subsequent constitutional procedure.
