In order to accommodate a crowd of nine judges, their relatives and friends as well as advocates, the Supreme Court has decided to open up its large auditorium for their oath taking, which is traditionally administered in the largest Chief Justice’s courtroom in the SC.
CJI N V Ramana has scheduled the oath taking for Tuesday in the 900-seater auditorium at the new additional building of the SC. He will administer the oath of office to Justices A S Oka, Justice Vikram Nath, Justice J K Maheshwari, Justice Hima Kohli, Justice B V Nagarathna, Justice C T Ravikumar, Justice M M Sundresh, Justice Bela M Trivedi, and P S Narasimha.
This is the second time since 2000 that the judges appointed to the SC would take oath of office at a place other than the high-ceilinged Chief Justice’s courtroom, which can accommodate 200 people when full. On January 28, 2000, the CJI A S Anand had utilised the stage set up in the SC lawns for celebrating golden jubilee of SC for administering oath to three SC Judges — Justice Y K Sabharwal, Ruma Pal and Justice Doraiswamy Raju.
Justice Sabharwal became CJI on November 1, 2005. Justice Pal retired
as the senior-most SC judge on June 2, 2006, seven months ahead of
Justice Sabharwal.
In another important decision, the CJI has decided to commence physical
hearing from Wednesday, a day after the nine take oath and bolster the
number of SC judges to 33, which is just one less than its sanctioned
strength of 34.
