His appointment follows a Supreme Court Collegium nod.

Fresh leadership for Telangana's top court

A new Chief Justice means fresh leadership for Telangana's top court.
Justice Singh brings years of experience and a strong legal background, which could shape how big cases are handled in the state.

Tripura HC chief justice

He's not new to high-profile roles—he was Tripura High Court's Chief Justice before this.
A graduate of Delhi University, he also served at Jharkhand High Court after it was formed.

Family background

Law runs deep in his family—his great-grandfather B.P. Sinha was once India's Chief Justice.
Now, Singh steps into this key role, taking over from Justice Sujoy Paul (who moves to Calcutta High Court).
