Collegium Recommends Names for Elevation to Orissa High Court
Advocate Sibo Sankar Mishra and Judicial Officer Ananda Chandra Down proposed for elevation
The Collegium of the Supreme Court, consisting of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice SK Kaul, and Justice Sanjeev Khanna, has recommended the names of an advocate and a judicial officer for elevation to the Orissa High Court.
Advocate Sibo Sankar Mishra
- Advocate Sibo Sankar Mishra, currently serving as an Advocate-on-Record for the State of Odisha in the Supreme Court, has been recommended for elevation.
- He is also a counsel for the Union of India and the Orissa High Court in the Apex Court.
- The Collegium resolution states that Mishra has a significant practice at the Bar, reflected in his average professional income.
- Inputs received from the Government indicate that he has a good personal and professional image, with no adverse information regarding his integrity.
Judicial Officer Ananda Chandra Down
- Ananda Chandra Down, a Judicial Officer holding the rank of District Judge, has been proposed for elevation to the High Court.
- The resolution states that the Government’s inputs indicate Down has a good personal and professional image, and no adverse information has been found regarding his integrity.
- The Collegium considered the fact that Down is currently the 14th senior-most Judicial Officer in the state, and recommending his name would mean overlooking 13 officers senior to him.
- The Collegium statement acknowledges the reasons recorded in the minutes of the Collegium of the High Court for not recommending the names of the senior judicial officers, and agrees with those views.
