New Delhi, Sep 21: Chief justices of three high courts, including that of Delhi, were appointed today. Justice Darmar Murugesan (61), a judge of the Madras High Court was elevated as Chief Justice of  Delhi High Court.






Kerala High Court Acting Chief Justice, Justice Manjula Chellur (56) was elevated as  Chief Justice in the same high court, a Law Ministry statement said here.

Acting Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court, Justice Arjan Kumar Sikri (58) has been elevated as the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court.

The lawyers and judges of the Delhi High Court today bid farewell to its Acting Chief Justice Arjan K Sikri.  Justice Sikri is likely to take oath as Punjab and Haryana High court's chief justice on Sunday evening.

Justice D Murugesan of the Madras High Court is likely to be sworn in as Delhi High Court's chief justice on September 26.

At a farewell function organised by lawyers and judges, Justice Sikri read out a prayer meant for judges. He said, "Every judge should memorise and recite it every day. Its message is that a judge discharges divine function and a judge in that prayer is praying to God to be merciful to him so that he is able to administer justice."
