Justice Gavai is set to assume office on 14 May, succeeding CJI Khanna. His tenure will span approximately six months, concluding with his retirement in November 2025.
The Vice-President, who has on several occasions batted for reviving proposal to set up a National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), says steps taken by CJI 'unprecedented'.
Firefighters & police had recorded a video of 4-5 bags of burnt cash allegedly found in Justice Varma’s storeroom. Hours later, the debris was removed, the prelim report says.
Explosive report to CJI Khanna includes videos, photos purportedly taken at Justice Yashwant Varma’s residence, and the latter’s denial saying he is being framed.
CJI Sajiv Khanna took the step after reading the preliminary investigation conducted by the Delhi HC Chief Justice. A decision on Justice Varma's transfer will be taken Monday.
Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna said SC 'remains accessible to common public, and in its diversity of judges, multitude of voices find representation at highest level of judiciary'.
Some from the legal community welcome the proposal to stop recommending names of judges’ kith & kin for appointment of HC judges, while some others say there's no need for blanket rule.
Indian judiciary has a corrosive imbalance between the bar and the bench. Those who supervise the district judiciary do so without the lived experience that is essential for meaningful reform.
November exports to the US saw 10% growth from the previous month. Overall, in the first 8 months this fiscal, the merchandise exports to the US touched has touched $59bn.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
