Central Government issues notification for appointment of Kardak Ete as additional judge of Gauhati High Court

The appointment of Senior Advocate Kardak Ete as an additional judge of the Gauhati High Court has been notified by the Central government on Friday.

The website of Ministry of Law and Justice has published a notification to this effect.

 The notification reads that in exercise of the power conferred by clause (1) of Article 224 of the Constitution of India, the President is pleased to appoint Shri Kardak Ete, as an Additional Judge of the Madras High Court for a period of two years with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office.

The Supreme Court Collegium on March 2, 2023 had recommended the name of Senior Advocate Ete.

The Collegium, in its resolution had said that the elevation of Ete, who belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, will add to the diversity of the Gauhati High Court bench.

The Supreme Court Collegium recommendation read that as per the report of the Intelligence Bureau, it is indicated that he (Advocate Ete) enjoys a good personal and professional image and nothing adverse has come to notice with regard to integrity.

It further added that the candidate belongs to a Scheduled Tribe. Besides his own competence and standing at the Bar, the appointment of Shri Kardak Ete will bring greater diversity and inclusion to the High Court, due to which the collegium resolves to recommend that Shri Kardak Ete, Advocate, be appointed as a Judge of the Gauhati High Court.

The Central government is yet to notify the appointment of judicial officer Mridul Kumar Kalita as a judge of the Gauhati High Court. Kalita was recommended for elevation in January this year
