Cuttack, January 17: A full bench of the Orissa High Court has decided to appoint L K Mishra as Kalahandi district judge after the end of his two-year tenure as an additional judge of the High Court.
“Since no recommendation for his (Mishra’s) appointment as permanent judge of the High Court or any communique for extension of his tenure as additional judge was received after completion of his tenure yesterday, the full bench decided to send him back to his original cadre,” Acting Chief Justice of Orissa Justice I M Quddusi told PTI today.
He, however, refused to comment on why Mishra’s name was not recommended for appointment as a permanent judge of the High Court.
Justice Quddusi further said that Mishra could be again elevated to the bench as an additional judge if his name is recommended for the post.
