Bhubaneswar: The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the appointment of Dr Justice B R Sarangi of Orissa High Court as the Chief Justice of the Jharkhand High Court.

Justice Sarangi was elevated as a Judge of the Orissa High Court in June 2013 after completing 27 years of regular practice at the Bar before the High Court and the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court Collegium, headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, noted that a vacancy in the office of the Chief Justice of the High Court of Jharkhand is going to arise very shortly consequent upon the retirement of Justice Sanjaya Kumar Mishra.

“The Collegium recommends the name of Dr Justice B R Sarangi, a senior puisne Judge from the High Court of Orissa, for appointment as the Chief Justice of the High Court of Jharkhand,” it said.

While considering his name, the Collegium has taken into consideration the fact that after the retirement of Justice Sanjaya Kumar Mishra, there would be no representation of the High Court of Orissa among the Chief Justices of the High Courts.

The SC Collegium noted that during his tenure of more than 10 years as a Judge of High Court, Justice Sarangi has authored more than 1,056 reported judgments.

“He has acquired considerable experience in dispensing justice in the High Court…While making the recommendation, the Collegium has duly taken note of seniority of Judges of the High Court of Orissa,” it added.
