Sanjay Kumar Agrawal assumes office as Rajasthan High Court Chief Justice

Justice Sanjay Kumar Agrawal took oath as Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, marking a transition in the state's judicial leadership. The appointment brings to a close the tenure of Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, who had been discharging duties as Acting Chief Justice since September 2025.

The change in leadership comes against the backdrop of administrative developments within the High Court. Justice Sharma's period as Acting Chief Justice had drawn attention from judicial and administrative circles, with various stakeholders monitoring the institutional functioning during the interim arrangement.

Justice Agrawal's appointment follows established procedures for elevation to the Chief Justice position. His assumption of office represents the continuation of regular judicial administration in Rajasthan, one of India's major state high courts.

The Rajasthan High Court, headquartered in Jaipur, has jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters across the state. With the new Chief Justice in place, the court is expected to continue its regular operations and case management under fresh leadership.
