The Supreme Court Collegium on Thursday (February 27, 2026) recommended the name of Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari as the next Chief Justice of the Madras High Court. He is currently serving as a Judge of the Kerala High Court.
The present Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava, will retire on March 5, 2026. The recommendation has been made before his retirement to avoid a vacancy.
Now, the proposal will go to the President of India. After the President approves it and issues the warrant of appointment, Justice Dharmadhikari will take oath as the 55th Chief Justice of the Madras High Court.
