Roopesh Chandra Varshney, Anuradha Shukla, Sanjeev Sudhakar Kalgaonkar, Prem Narayan Singh, Achal Kumar Paliwal, Hirdesh, and Avnindra Kumar Singh are the seven names suggested.
On November 23, 2022, the Chief Justice of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh recommended the elevation of the seven judicial officers listed above as Judges of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh after conjunction with his two senior-most colleagues.
