New Delhi: Justice NV Ramana has been appointed as the next Chief Justice of India on Tuesday by President Ram Nath Kovind.
He will assume charge as the 48th CJI on April 24, a day after the retirement of incumbent CJI Sharad Arvind Bobde. CJI Bobde, who succeeded Justice Ranjan Gogoi as the country’s topmost judge in November 2019, nominated Justice Ramana as his successor last month, through a letter to the Union law ministry.
