Odisha Judge Indrajit Mahanty Tipped For Rajasthan HC Chief Justice

The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the name of Justice Indrajit Mahanty to be the Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court.

“Justice Mahanty is suitable in all aspects for being appointed as the Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court,” the Collegium said in the recommendation letter dated August 28.

While taking the decision, the Collegium had taken into consideration the fact that at present there is no Chief Justice from Orissa High Court, it added.

Notably, with the elevation of Justice S. Ravindra Bhat to the Supreme Court, the office of the Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court would fall vacant shortly.

Justice Mahanty is currently posted as a Judge in Bombay High Court.

Born on November 11, 1960, in Cuttack, Justice Mahanty did his Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the Campus Law Centre, Delhi University, and Master of Laws (LLM) from the University of Cambridge, UK.
He enrolled as an advocate with the Odisha State Bar Council in 1984. He began legal practice under his father late Br. Ranjit Mahanty. He was elevated as a Judge of the Orissa High Court on March 30, 2006.
Justice Mahanty was the member of the Bar Council of India from 1998 to 2003 and worked as its managing trustee in 2003.
