Nuthalapati Venkata Ramana sworn in as Chief Justice of India

Justice Nuthalapati Venkata Ramana, who had ruled against the Narendra Modi government over the Internet restrictions in Jammu and Kashmir and delivered several trend-setting judgments, was on Saturday elevated as the 48th Chief Justice of India. President Ram Nath Kovind formally administered the oath of office and secrecy to Ramana at a brief event held at the Rashtrapathi Bhavan where Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, outgoing CJI S.A. Bobde, judges of the Supreme Court and several other dignitaries were present. A former journalist with one of the leading Telugu dailies Eenadu, Justice Ramana will have a tenure of 16 months and will retire on August 26, 2022.

Defection, corruption and the law

A special feature of Indian politics is the ease with which turncoats often talk politics. Those who were spokespersons of a particular political party till yesterday will preach the exact opposite on a fine morning, speaking on behalf of a rival party. The public does not seem very uncomfortable with this shift, though it plainly insults their intelligence. Perhaps, these moments directly epitomise the ethical level of Indian politics. In the eve of the present Assembly elections, there were a large number of defectors across the board. In states like West Bengal, the very contest is founded upon the pre-election repudiations and tactical affiliations. Now, we have to wait for the post-election scenes that can tell us much more on the fine art of floor crossing.
