The Ministry of Law and Justice on Wednesday notified the appointment of Justice Sanjeev Kumar as the Acting Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court, effective from April 10, 2025.

The decision was made under Article 223 of the Constitution of India following the retirement of Chief Justice Tashi Rabastan on April 9, 2025. Justice Sanjeev Kumar, currently serving as a judge in the same High Court, has been entrusted with the responsibilities of the Chief Justice’s office.

The Supreme Court Collegium, in its meeting on April 4, proposed the appointment of Justice Arun Palli from the Punjab and Haryana High Court as the Chief Justice of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court. However, his elevation is still awaiting approval from the Union government.

He represented almost all government departments and PSUs, was counsel on the Panel of Advocate General for more than two years, and represented the Forest and Finance Department, including the Commercial Taxes and Excise Department of the state, in the Jammu Wing of the High Court.

Justice Sanjeev Kumar was also standing counsel for the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (J&K SSB) for almost six years between 2006 and 2012.
