The Supreme Court of India achieved a significant milestone on Friday as Chief Justice B R Gavai administered the oath of office to Justices N V Anjaria, Vijay Bishnoi, and A S Chandurkar. With their induction, the highest judicial body of the country restored its full bench strength of 34 judges.
The oath-taking ceremony took place in the prestigious apex court premises, marking a new chapter in India's judicial history. The appointments of the judges were recommended by the Supreme Court collegium earlier and filled the vacancies created by the retirements of distinguished judges, including ex-CJI Sanjiv Khanna and others.
