Tejas Dhirenbhai Karia, an expert in arbitration law, has been appointed as a judge of the Delhi High Court, increasing its strength to 39. The appointment was confirmed after a recommendation by the Supreme Court collegium and was officiated by Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya.

Arbitration law authority Tejas Dhirenbhai Karia was sworn in as a judge of the Delhi High Court on Friday, enhancing the court's current roster to 39 judges.
