Govt. Clears Justice Kureshi's Appointment

He will head the Tripura High Court

- Krishnadas Rajagopal

The government is learnt to have cleared the Supreme Court Collegium’s recommendation to appoint Justice A.A. Kureshi as the Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court.

The Collegium had initially in May recommended Justice Kureshi for appointment as the Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. But the government, in back-to-back letters on August 23 and 27, had raised objections to the proposal. Following this, the Collegium recommended his appointment to the Tripura High Court in September.
