Sir Donald James Falshaw (22 January 1905 – 1984)[1] was a British administrator and judge in India. A member of the Indian Civil Service, he continued his career in India after its independence in 1947, eventually becoming the first Chief Justice of the Punjab High Court in 1966 when it was renamed as Punjab and Haryana High Court.
He was the very last British judge who did not become an Indian citizen to serve in India.
