On March 6th, 2023, Justice Amit Sharma was officially sworn in as a permanent judge of the Delhi High Court. The ceremony was attended by several judges and lawyers, who graced the occasion with their presence.
Justice Sharma's appointment as a permanent judge was recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium on February 15th, 2023.
