Madras High Court Chief Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari on Monday administered the oath of office to Justices Sunder Mohan and Kabali Kumaresh Babu, who have been appointed as additional judges of the court for a period of two years. With their induction, the working strength has increased to 58 as against the sanctioned strength of 75 judges.
Advocate General R. Shunmugasundaram welcomed the new judges and introduced them to the gathering. He said, Justice Mohan was born on November 2, 1969 and that his father S. Sunder was a distinguished senior advocate. After enrolling with the Bar Council in 1991, he had joined the chambers of renowned senior counsel Habibullah Badsha.
“Later, in 1994, I am proud to say that he joined my private chambers and worked in a number of criminal matters till I was appointed as the State Public Prosecutor. Thereafter, His Lordship joined our revered senior N. Natarajan, a doyen of the criminal Bar and got an opportunity to assist him in numerous cases,” the A-G said.
