Fourteen additional judges of the Madras High Court Monday were upgraded and sworn-in as permanent judges, bringing up the total number of the court's permanent judges to 40.

While the court, including its bench in Madurai, has a sanctioned strength of 60, it now has 54 judges, with six posts vacant. The court earlier had 26 permanent judges and 28 additional judges. Fourteen of the additional judges were Monday upgraded and sworn in as permanent judges.

Justice K. Chandru, who was one of the 14 new permanent judges, declared the assets owned by him, his wife and his daughter. According to him, he intended to start a new convention by declaring his assets on the swearing-in day itself.
