In a significant development, the President of India, on Thursday, appointed Kaushik Goswami as the Additional Judge of the Gauhati High Court.

Union Minister of State for Law and Justice, Arjun Ram Meghwal, took to his social media handle to share this significant development.

A notification issued by the Special Secretary to the Government of India confirmed this appointment, stating that Kaushik Goswami would serve as an Additional Judge for a period of two years.
