Imphal, Oct 14: The Union government on Friday appointed three judges in the High Courts of Madras and Manipur including a judicial officer who would become the first woman from scheduled tribe to become a judge in Manipur high court.

Union law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced the appointment of the three new judges on platform X (formerly Twitter).

The notification for the appointment of Golmei Gaiphulshillu Kabui, a judicial officer, for appointment as judges of the Manipur high court was pending since January 10.

The other two names cleared by the Centre are from Scheduled Caste and Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities, potentially boosting the social diversity and representation of marginalised sections in the higher judiciary. Two advocates, N Senthilkumar and G. Arul Murugan, were appointed as judges in the Madras High Court.

The Supreme Court collegium, comprising Chief Justice of India Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud and justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Sanjiv Khanna, had recommended their names in July.
