Justices R V Ghuge, M C Tripathi recommended as Calcutta and Bombay High Court Chief Justices

The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the elevation of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra V Ghuge of the Bombay High Court as the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court and Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi of the Allahabad High Court as the next Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court. These appointments are contingent upon the Central government's approval and issuance of notifications.

Justice Ghuge, who has served on the Bombay High Court for nearly thirteen years, was appointed as its Acting Chief Justice in June this year. Meanwhile, Justice Tripathi, if approved, will be the 50th Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court and the second Chief Justice from Allahabad in recent years.
