Answer- B
With the promotion of two High Court Chief Justices to the apex court, India's Supreme Court has now been restored to its full complement of 34 judges.
The last time the apex court was at full strength was between September and November 2019. The recent additions to the 34-judge collegium are the Chief Justices of the Allahabad High Court and the Gujarat High Court.
Last month, the Supreme Court Collegium recommended Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Chief Justice Aravind Kumar for appointment to the apex court. Shortly after, on February 4, five judges were appointed to the Supreme Court based on recommendations made in December 2022.
Justices Pankaj Mithal, Sanjay Karol, PV Sanjay Kumar, Ahsanuddin Amanullah, and Manoj Misra were sworn in on February 6 following the Centre's announcement.
