The Central Government has notified the appointment of Justice K Vinod Chandran, the Chief Justice of the Patna High Court, as a Judge of the Supreme Court.
It was last week that the Supreme Court Collegium recommended the elevation of Justice Vinod Chandran.
"In exercise of the powers conferred by the Constitution of India, the President, after consultation with Chief Justice of India, is pleased to appoint Shri Justice Krishnan Vinod Chandran, Chief Justice, Patna High Court as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India," Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal posted in 'X'.
Justice K. Vinod Chandran was appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Kerala on 08th November 2011 and was elevated as the Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature at Patna on 29th March 2023 and has been functioning as the Chief Justice of that High Court since then.
While recommending his name, the Collegium has taken into consideration the fact that there is no representation on the Bench of the Supreme Court from the High Court of Kerala. It may be noted that with the retirement of Justice CT Ravikumar last week, there is no judge from Kerala at the Supreme Court.
The Collegium led by CJI Sanjiv Khanna noted that during his long tenure as a judge, Justice Vinod Chandran "has acquired significant experience in diverse fields of law."
