The Supreme Court Collegium on Tuesday (07.02.2023) recommended the appointment of Justice Sabina as the Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court. Presently, she is the Acting Chief Justice of that High Court.
In a statement released on the Supreme Court website, the Collegium stated that two other senior judges, Justices Jaswant Singh and Rajesh Bindal, who hail from Punjab and Haryana High Courts, have already been recommended for appointments to Tripura High Court and Supreme Court, respectively.
Justice Sabina was appointed as a High Court judge on March 12, 2008 and will retire on April 19, 2023. Her parent High Court is the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Given Justice Sabina’s seniority, the Collegium recommended her appointment as Chief Justice of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh “as she is fit and suitable in all respects for the same.”
