As the in-charge government advocate, he worked from May 16, 2002 to represent Maharashtra in the Supreme Court of India in civil as well as in criminal matters and argued several cases. The Supreme Court Collegium Tuesday recommended the name of Justice S S Shinde as the new Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court.
Following Justice Akil Kureshi’s retirement on March 5 this year, Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava, the senior-most Judge of the Rajasthan High Court, has been the acting Chief Justice of the High Court.
Chief Justice Akil Kureshi’s emotional farewell address had made waves. Among other things, he had said that he considers the government’s negative perception of him as a certificate of independence and that he leaves with his “pride intact” and “conscience clear”.
Born on August 2, 1960, Justice Shinde completed his LLB course from Marathwada University (now Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University) at Aurangabad, Maharashtra and obtained LLM degrees from Pune University and from Warwick University in the United Kingdom.
