The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended the name of Justice Alok Aradhe as the new Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court. Presently, Justice Aradhe is serving as a Judge of the Karnataka High Court.

A vacancy in the office of the Chief Justice of the High Court for the State of Telangana would arise in case Supreme Court Collegium's July 5 resolution to elevate Justice Ujjal Bhuyan to the Supreme Court is accepted by the Centre.

Justice Aradhe was appointed as a Judge of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh on 29 December 2009 and is now a senior puisne Judge in his parent High Court. He has been functioning, on transfer since November 2018 as a Judge of the Karnataka High Court and has acquired experience of more than 13 years in dispensing justice in two large High Courts.
