The Law Ministry on Thursday notified the appointment of advocate Somasekhar Sundaresan, whose elevation was initially opposed by the Centre because of his critical social media posts, as an Additional Judge of the Bombay High Court.
In a post on X, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said, “In exercise of the power conferred by the Constitution of India, the Hon’ble President of India, after consultation with Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, is pleased to appoint Shri Somasekhar Sundaresan, Advocate as an Additional Judge of the Bombay High Court”.
In February last year, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended Mr. Sundaresan as a judge of the Bombay High Court.
