Justice Arun Mishra appointed as BCCI Ombudsman and Ethics Officer

New Delhi, Jan 17 (UNI) Former Supreme Court judge Justice Arun Mishra has been appointed as the new Ombudsman and Ethics Officer of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The confirmation of his appointment was displayed on the BCCI website on Thursday, assigning him dual roles in the cricket governing body.
Justice Mishra served as a Supreme Court judge from July 7, 2014, to September 2, 2020, before retiring from the bench.
Following his retirement, he was appointed as the chairperson of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on June 2, 2021, a position he held until June 1, 2024.
Born on September 3, 1955, in Gwalior, Justice Mishra began his legal career in 1978, specialising in constitutional, civil, industrial, criminal, and service matters at the Madhya Pradesh High Court. In 1998-99, he made history by becoming the youngest Chairman of the Bar Council of India.
His judicial career commenced on October 25, 1999, when he was appointed as a judge of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
Justice Mishra later served as the Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court from November 26, 2010, to December 14, 2012, before assuming the role of Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court.
He was elevated to the Supreme Court on July 7, 2014.
Justice Mishra's tenure on the Supreme Court bench was marked by significant cases. He leaves behind a legacy of 132 judgements during his six-year tenure at the Supreme Court. Known for his rulings in property law, land acquisition, and constitutional matters, Justice Mishra’s contributions continue to shape Indian jurisprudence.
The position of Ombudsman and Ethics Officer in the BCCI has a notable history.
The first-ever Ombudsman was Justice Ajit Prakash Shah, a former Chief Justice of the Delhi and Madras High Courts, who was appointed in 2015.
Subsequently, Justice D.K. Jain, a former Supreme Court judge, was appointed to the role in 2019, followed by Justice Vineet Saran in 2022.
Justice Mishra’s appointment adds another illustrious name to this legacy. With his extensive legal experience and a career spanning decades, his new role is expected to bring valuable insights and uphold ethical standards in Indian cricket administration.
