Bhubaneswar: Justice Subhasis Talapatra is likely to become the next Chief Justice of the Orissa High Court with the Supreme Court collegium recommending his name for the post.

Justice Talapatra was elevated as a Judge of the Gauhati High Court on November 15, 2011 and on establishment of a separate High Court for Tripura in 2013 he opted the High Court of Tripura as his parent High Court. He has been functioning, on transfer, in the High Court of Orissa since June 10, 2022.

As per sources, a vacancy in the office of the Chief Justice of the High Court of Orissa would arise in August 2023 consequent upon retirement of Dr Justice S Muralidhar. Therefore, appointment to that office is required to be made.

The Collegium has also recommended the appointment of Chief Justices for six other High Courts – Kerala, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Bombay, Telangana and Gujarat.

“It is proposed to recommend the name of Mr Justice Subhasis Talapatra, the senior-most Judge from the Tripura High Court, for appointment as Chief Justice of the High Court of Orissa. He was elevated as a Judge of the Gauhati High Court on 15 November 2011 and on establishment of a separate High Court for the State of Tripura in 2013, he opted the High Court of Tripura as his parent High Court. He has been functioning, on transfer, in the High Court of Orissa since 10 June 2022. He has acquired considerable experience of dispensing justice in two High Courts,” the collegium reportedly said.

While considering his name, the Collegium has taken into consideration the fact that since its inception in 2013, the High Court of Tripura till date has not got representation among the Chief Justices of the High Courts. “Having regard to all relevant factors, the Collegium is of the considered view that Mr Justice Subhasis Talapatra is fit and suitable in all respects for being appointed as Chief Justice of the High Court of Orissa,” it added.

Justice Subhasis Talapatra was born on October 4, 1961, at Udaipur, Tripura.
