Congratulations to Justice Paul! Now, the real expectation begins. I hope under his leadership, the High Court can address the massive backlog of cases. Justice delayed is justice denied, as they say. Let's hope for faster disposal rates.

As someone following judicial reforms, this is positive news. The consultation process between the President and the Chief Justice of India, as mentioned in the article, is a key part of maintaining judicial independence. Best wishes from Delhi!

Respectfully, while I congratulate the new Chief Justice, I hope his tenure focuses on making the court more accessible to the common man. Sometimes the procedures feel too complex for ordinary citizens. Wishing him the best to bring positive change.
