Justice Maheshwari sworn in as Chief Justice in Amaravati
Justice Jitendra Kumar Maheshwari was on Monday sworn-in as the Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court. Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan administered the oath of office to Justice Maheshwari at a public function in Vijayawada.
Amaravati: Justice Jitendra Kumar Maheshwari was on Monday sworn-in as the Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court. Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan administered the oath of office to Justice Maheshwari at a public function in Vijayawada.
However, after the main function, the Governor had to administer the oath a second time inside the VIP room of Tummalapalli Vari Kshetrayya Kalakshetram, as Justice Maheshwari erroneously read "Chief Justice of Madhya Pradesh" while being sworn-in the first time at the open ceremony. Inside the VIP room, Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, judges of the High Court and state Chief Secretary L V Subrahmanyam were present when the mistake was corrected. Governor's Secretary Mukesh Kumar Meena pointed out the mistake in the oath-taking and got it corrected.
Prior to his elevation, Justice Maheshwari served as a judge of Madhya Pradesh High Court. Last week, President Ram Nath Kovind issued an order appointing Justice Maheshwari as the first regular Chief Justice of AP High Court.
Post-bifurcation, Andhra Pradesh got a separate High Court on January 1 this year and it started functioning from a temporary premises in the Amaravati capital region.
