Who is the cji of india 2022

By Kanu Sarda: On April 24, 2022 CJI N V Ramana will complete one year in office as the 48th Chief Justice of India. Through the course of the past year, CJI Ramana has emerged as a people’s judge with a sharp focus on promoting access to justice. In the pursuit of this, his priorities have been filling judicial vacancies and improving judicial infrastructure across Courts in India. The Supreme Court has witnessed some refreshing changes in its judicial approach during the tenure of CJI Ramana. Apart from his orders that made headlines in cases like Pegasus, vacancies in tribunals and the Even during court hearings, Justice Ramana has always maintained a calm and composed demeanour. He has at several instances, reiterated his strong belief that judges should be only speaking through their judgments and is credited with delivering some landmark verdicts underscoring constitutional values and principles of natural justice.

The grand total of women judges that the apex court has had during all this time is eight out of the all-time list of close to 250 judges, or just about 3 per cent. Of course, there have been no women CJIs. However, that is set to change with the swearing in of nine judges on August 31, 2021, among whom will be three women judges, one whom, significantly, will go on to become India’s first woman CJI in 2027, on the principle of seniority. There are three women judges among the nine to be sworn in after their names were cleared by the Centre. The trio of Justices Hima Kohli, Chief Justice of the Telangana High Court, and Bela Trivedi of Gujarat High Court and BV Nagarathna of Karnataka High Court will make it the largest appointment of women to the top court ever since its inception. In fact, the first woman judge in SC received appointment only in 1989. Justice M Fathima B...
