Justice Sanjay Karol, Chief Justice of Patna High Court
-
Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar, Chief Justice of Manipur High Court
-
Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah, Judge of Patna High Court

Justice Manoj Misra, Judge of Allahabad High Court
These appointments were based on the recommendations made by the Supreme Court Collegium on December 13, 2022 .
Justice Sudhir Singh's name was not among those recommended by the Collegium in December 2022. Therefore, he was not appointed to the Supreme Court in 2023.
In summary, Sudhir Singh was not appointed to the Supreme Court in 2023.
