The Supreme Court Collegium has made a significant recommendation by proposing the appointment of Bombay High Court judge, Justice Nitin Jamdar, as the next Chief Justice of the Kerala High Court. This pivotal decision was reached through a resolution passed by the Collegium led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, along with Justices Sanjiv Khanna and BR Gavai. The resolution underscored Justice Jamdar’s seniority and vast experience, highlighting that as the most senior puisne Judge of the High Court of Bombay, with a comprehensive background in both judicial and administrative matters, he is eminently suitable for the role of Chief Justice of the prestigious Kerala High Court. Born in 1964, Justice Jamdar commenced his legal career practicing before the Bombay High Court before his elevation as a judge on January 23, 2012. He previously served as the Acting Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court from May 31 to July 28, 2023. The recommendation for Justice Nitin Jamdar comes in the wake of the retirement of his predecessor, Justice Ashish Jitendra Desai, who stepped down from office on July 4. Since then, Justice A Muhamed Mustaque has been holding the position of Acting Chief Justice at the Kerala High Court. With this nomination, Justice Jamdar is poised to take on a new chapter in his judicial journey, leading one of the key High Courts in India.
