Justice S Muralidhar
Chandigarh, December 15
Transferred at “midnight” to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in February from the Delhi High Court in midst of the Delhi violence case hearing, Justice S Muralidhar was today elevated as the Chief Justice of the Orissa High Court.
The senior-most Judge of the court, Justice Rajesh Bindal, was transferred to the Calcutta High Court.
Currently the Acting Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir High Court, Justice Bindal joins there as the first pusine Judge or the senior-most Judge after the Chief Justice. The transfers are yet to be notified.
Justice Bindal may eventually takeover as the Chief Justice there. His name was considered as a viable option as Justice Bindal is senior to another Judge in the Calcutta High Court elevated way back in June 2006.
