The strength of Supreme Court has increased to how many judges as of 13 Feb 2023?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 34.
As of 13 February 2023, the Supreme Court of India reached its full sanctioned strength of 34 judges, including the Chief Justice of India. This increase followed the swearing-in of two new judges, allowing the Court to function at its maximum capacity. The sanctioned strength was earlier raised from 31 to 34 judges in 2019 through an amendment to address the growing backlog of cases and ensure faster delivery of justice. The move marked a significant step toward improving judicial efficiency in India.
