\n

Known for his soft-spoken personality, calmness and a level headedness under any circumstance1<\/sup><\/a>; Justice D. Krishnakumar bids adieu to Manipur High Court on 21-5-2025 after a tenure of 6 months as its Chief Justice.<\/p>\n

Early Life, Education and Career as an Advocate2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Justice D. Krishnakumar was born at Dharapuram, on 22-5-1963. He did his schooling at Government Higher Secondary School, Dharapuram and obtained his B.Sc., Degree from Presidency College, Chennai, and B.L. Degree from Madras Law College.<\/p>\n

After finishing his legal education, Justice Krishnakumar enrolled as an Advocate in the year 1987 and joined the office of K. Duraiswamy, Senior Advocate at Madras High Court. During his career as an advocate, Justice Krishnakumar accumulated extensive experience in civil, Constitutional and service matters in the High Court, with specialization in Constitutional law.<\/p>\n

Justice Krishnakumar’s impeccable capacity as an advocate was rewarded when he was appointed as a Government Advocate in the High Court from 1991 to 1996. Furthermore, Justice Krishnakumar also served as Additional Central Government Standing Counsel from 1998-99 and Special Government Pleader from 2001 — 2006.<\/p>\n

And, served as Special Government Pleader (Education) from 2013 till his elevation as Judge.<\/p>\n

Career as a Judge3<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Justice Krishnakumar’s legal expertise was rewarded when he was appointed as Permanent Judge of the High Court of Madras on 07-04-2016.<\/p>\n

On 18-11-2024, the Supreme Court Collegium deemed it fit to recommend<\/a> his name as Chief Justice of Manipur High Court, considering Justice Krishnakumar’s accumulated experience as an advocate; the fact that he was the senior-most puisne Judge in his parent High Court and belongs to a Backward Community.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the Collegium’s recommendation was accepted, and Justice Krishnakumar took oath as the 8th<\/span> Chief Justice of High Court of Manipur on 22-11-2024.<\/p>\n

Appellate Authorities cannot condone delay beyond the limits specified in the statute: Madras High Court<\/a><\/p>\n

In R. Gowrishankar v. Commissioner of Service Tax<\/span>, 2016 SCC OnLine Mad 6023<\/a>, the division bench of S. Manikumar and D. Krishnakumar, JJ held that there can be no order for condonation of delay beyond the extended period of limitation, stating that when the legislative intent is indicated by the provisions of special laws that exclude the provisions of the Limitation Act, then authorities under such statutes cannot exercise power to condone the delay. The Court dismissed the writ appeal filed by the Appellant under Section 85<\/a> of the Finance Act, 1994<\/a> against the refusal of condonation of a delay of 223 days in proceedings before the Commissioner of Service Tax (Appeals).<\/p>\n

In law, the Trial Court’s order must be a reasoned and speaking one: Madras High Court<\/p>\n

The Bench of D. Krishnakumar, J.<\/span>, while considering a civil revision petition concerning partition of property, took note that the Trial Court’s order is a non-speaking order and no reasons were assigned in the order. In law, the trial Court’s order must be a reasoned and speaking one. It is needless to state that an unreasoned order may be just but may not appear to be sound to the individual affected. Per contra, a reasoned order will have the appearance of justice. In order to prevent aberration of justice, the impugned order is liable to be set aside in the eye of law. Therefore, the fair and final order passed by the Court below is liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n

Election Process before its culmination cannot be questioned before the Court under Article 226<\/a> of the Constitution<\/a><\/p>\n

Clause (b) of Article 329 excludes the jurisdiction of the Courts to entertain any matter relating to Election. Further, the Election Commission has got power to take a decision to postpone the Election according to the ground reality and it cannot be questioned before the Court, under Article 226<\/a> of the Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
