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.
