Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra sworn in as Chief Justice of Punjab, Haryana HC
Justice Ashwani Kumar Mishra has taken the oath as the new Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The ceremony proceeded without the presence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who had previously expressed opposition to Mishra's appointment. The appointment was announced earlier this month, and the event was low‑key, marking a leadership change in the state's judiciary.
