Cuttack: Chief Justice of Orissa High Court Subhasis Talapatra on Tuesday administered oath to two new judges – Sibo Sankar Mishra and Ananda Chandra Behera.

On September 2, the Centre notified the appointment of Mishra, Advocate-on-Record, and Behera, Senior Judicial Officer, as judges of Orissa High Court. The Collegium of the Supreme Court, comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice SK Kaul and Justice Sanjiv Khanna, had recommended their names for the appointment on August 17, 2023.

Mishra began his career in 1991 and specialises in civil, criminal and service law. He was an advocate-on-record in Supreme Court for the Odisha government. Behera, on the other hand, served as a judicial officer in different capacities over the years.
