Justice Ravindra Ghuge Appointed Calcutta HC Chief Justice; Maratha Quota Case to Restart
Justice Ravindra Ghuge has left the Bombay High Court after over 13 years to become Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court. His departure will lead to a new bench hearing the challenge to Maharashtra's 10% Maratha reservation law, potentially delaying the case. Justice Ghuge was known for his firm courtroom approach and handled other significant matters, including petitions related to the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration. Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi is set to succeed him as Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court.
