SC Collegium Recommends Justice D Krishnakumar as Chief Justice of Manipur High Court

Today, the Supreme Court Collegium recommended the appointment of Justice D. Krishnakumar, a judge of the Madras High Court, as the Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court.

This appointment will take effect following the retirement of the current Chief Justice, Siddharth Mridul, on November 21.

"It is proposed to appoint Mr. Justice D. Krishnakumar, presently serving as a Judge of the Madras High Court, as the Chief Justice of the High Court of Manipur with effect from the date on which the incumbent Chief Justice demits office on retirement," the Collegium resolution stated.

Justice D. Krishnakumar, appointed as a judge of the Madras High Court on April 7, 2016, is set to retire on May 21, 2025. 
 
He has also gained extensive experience in civil, constitutional, and service matters, with a specialization in constitutional law.
 
"While recommending the name of Mr. Justice D. Krishnakumar, the Collegium has also taken into consideration the fact that at present there is only one Chief Justice from the Madras High Court among the Chief Justices of the High Courts. Having regard to all relevant factors, the Collegium is of the considered view that Mr. Justice D. Krishnakumar is fit and suitable in all respects for being appointed as the Chief Justice of High Court of Manipur," the resolution highlighted.
