Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya has officially taken the oath as the new Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court. The ceremony was held today at Raj Niwas, located in Civil Lines, Delhi, with the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi administering the oath of office.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, senior government officials, judges from the Delhi High Court, legal professionals, and other distinguished guests attended the event.
The Central Government confirmed Justice Upadhyaya’s appointment through a notification issued by the Ministry of Law and Justice last week. He takes over from Justice Vibhu Bakhru, who had been serving as the acting Chief Justice.

Earlier in January, the Supreme Court Collegium had recommended Justice Upadhyaya’s transfer from the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court to the Delhi High Court. Following this recommendation, the President of India, in consultation with the Chief Justice of India, issued a notification confirming his transfer. Justice Upadhyaya was asked to assume the charge as Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court.

Justice Upadhyaya’s journey began when he graduated in law from Lucknow University in 1991. He was enrolled as an advocate on May 11, 1991, and initially practiced civil and constitutional law at the Allahabad High Court.

In 2011, he was appointed as an additional judge of the Allahabad High Court and became a permanent judge in 2013. Later, in July 2023, he was appointed as the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court before his transfer to Delhi.

Justice Upadhyaya’s appointment as the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court marks a significant moment in his career, and he is expected to continue making important contributions to the legal system.
