Justice Aniruddha Roy appointed as permanent judge of Calcutta High Court by Centre

The Central Government has notified the appointment of Additional Judge of Calcutta High Court, Justice Aniruddha Roy, as a Permanent Judge. Justice Roy was recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium via a meeting held on December 14. 

The Central Government had notified his appointment as an Additional Judge in May 2020 for a period of two years. 

Recently a division bench of Aniruddha Roy and Sabyasachi Bhattacharya had put a blanket ban on firecrackers during Diwali 2020. This decision made headlines, which was later overturned by the Supreme Court.
