New Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court.

 In the first appointments to higher judiciary in the last ten months, Justice Ramayyagari Subhash Reddy was today elevated as the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court while 12 additional judges of the Allahabad High Court were made as permanent judges. Justice Reddy, a judge of the Andhra Pradesh/Telangana High Court, has been elevated as the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office.

He has become the first judge to be elevated as Chief Justice of a high court since April 13 last when the government had brought into force the National Judicial Appointments Commission Act, which had overturned the collegium system of appointing judges.
