"justice-nv-ramana"

Justice Ramana took the oath at a brief ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhawan.

According to a notification issued by the government, Justice Ramana would take over as the 48th CJI on April 24 after incumbent S A Bobde demits office a day before.

CJI Bobde, who is set to retire on April 23, has sent the recommendation to the government and handed over a copy to Justice Ramana, the sources said.

The PIL, jointly filed by advocates GS Mani, Pradeep Kumar Yadav and SK Singh, contended that Jagan Mohan Reddy is facing more than 20 criminal cases.

BCI Chairman Senior Advocate Manan Mishra stated that Andhra Chief Minister, by making his letter public, has adopted the tactics to pressurise the Judge and scandalise the Institution.
