Agartala, Tripura – In a momentous occasion for the state’s judiciary, Justice Mamidanna Satya Ratna Sri Ramachandra Rao was today sworn in as the new Chief Justice of the Tripura High Court. The solemn ceremony, steeped in tradition, unfolded at the historic Durbar Hall of Raj Bhavan in Agartala.
Tripura Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu administered the oath of office and secrecy to Justice Ramachandra Rao, who had arrived in the state capital on Monday, a day prior to the formal proceedings, to prepare for his new role.
