Who was elevated to the post of Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court in January 2026?
Justice Sujoy Paul
Justice Sujoy Paul was sworn in as the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court in January 2026 after the Supreme Court Collegium recommended his elevation and the President cleared the appointment.
He had earlier served as a judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court and the Telangana High Court before this elevation.
