Justice Talapatra was elevated as a Judge of the Gauhati high court on November 15, 2011 and on establishment of a separate high court for the state of Tripura in 2013 he opted the high court of Tripura as his parent high court. He has been functioning, on transfer, in the high court of Orissa since 10 June 2022.

Having regard to all relevant factors, the Collegium is of the considered view that Mr Justice Subhasis Talapatra is fit and suitable in all respects for being appointed as Chief Justice of the High Court of Orissa.”
