Karnataka witnessed a significant judicial appointment as Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot administered the oath to Perugu Sree Sudha, who was sworn in as a judge of the Karnataka High Court. The ceremony, held at Raj Bhavan, was attended by prominent figures including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Acting Chief Justice V Kameshwara Rao.

This appointment follows a major reshuffle proposed by the Supreme Court collegium, headed by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna. In meetings conducted in April, the collegium recommended the transfer of seven judges, four from Karnataka, as part of a strategic judicial realignment.
