Justice N D Deshpande, a judge of the Bombay High Court, took over as the presiding officer of the Mumbai University and SNDT College Tribunal on Monday. Elevated as a high court judge in April 2009, Justice Deshpande was a city civil and sessions court judge in Mumbai between 1991 and 1998.

He had also been the principal district judge at Kolhapur for two years between 1998 and 2000.

The judge, who turns 58 next month, hails from the Yavatmal district. The judge, said sources, opted to join the University Tribunal. He thus ceases to be a judge at the high court.
