The Supreme Court of India is bracing for another round of retirements with two senior judges — Justice Pankaj Mittal and Justice J K Maheshwari — scheduled to demit office in June 2026. Their departures follow the recent retirement of Justice Rajesh Bindal on April 15, continuing a period of significant transition at the apex court. The retirements are expected to renew focus on the pace of judicial appointments to keep the court adequately staffed.
