In a significant judicial development, the Supreme Court collegium on Monday (August 25, 2025) recommended the elevation of Justice Shree Chandrashekhar as the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court.
Justice Chandrashekhar is presently serving as a judge of the Bombay High Court. His recommendation came during a meeting of the collegium held on August 25, 2025.
The three-member collegium, headed by the Chief Justice of India, also comprised Justices Surya Kant and Vikram Nath. The proposal has now been forwarded to the Centre for approval.
If cleared, Justice Chandrashekhar will take charge as the next Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, one of the country’s oldest and most prominent high courts.
