CJI recommends Gogoi as successor
Putting to rest all speculation, Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra on Tuesday recommended to the Centre that Justice Ranjan Gogoi be his successor, eight months after he was part of a revolt against the countrys top judge
New Delhi: Putting to rest all speculation, Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra on Tuesday recommended to the Centre that Justice Ranjan Gogoi be his successor, eight months after he was part of a revolt against the country's top judge.
Despite the differences, Misra stuck to convention and recommended Gogoi, the senior-most judge in the Supreme Court after the CJI. If confirmed by the Centre, considered a formality, Gogoi will be sworn in on October 3, a day after Misra retires.
Highly-placed sources said the letter by Misra has been sent by the office of the CJI to the Ministry of Law and Justice for necessary action. Gogoi will have a tenure of little over a year. His term is due to end on November 17 next year when he attains the age of 65.
