Before assuming office as Meghalaya Court Chief Justice, Justice Revati Mohite Dere said judges must uphold faith while interpreting law. Her transfer was cleared January 1, and she took oath as the court’s second woman Chief Justice.
The Jharkhand government petitioned the Supreme Court over the Central government’s delay in approving the appointment of a new Chief Justice for the state’s High Court. The plea cites the extended delays in previous appointments and highlights concerns about the impact on judicial independence. The intervention of the Supreme Court is sought to address this issue.
