CHENNAI: Justice Munishwar Nath Bhandari was sworn in the chief justice of Madras high court on Monday by Tamil Nadu governor R N Ravi.

Earlier, in his welcome address Shunmugasundaram said, “the Court Hall No 1, where his lordship sits as the Chief Justice, is no doubt the best court hall in the country. Senior advocate Fali Nariman told me when I invited him to represent one of my cases that this was the best court hall in the country,” he added.
“Justice Bhandari has been sworn in as the 32nd Indian Chief Justice of the court,” the AG said.
