In a fresh development, the dawn of the New Year 2024, Supreme Court will see retirement of 3 judges & Chief Justice of India Chandrachud

Whilst CJI Chandrachud will be succeeded by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, who will take over as the next Chief Justice of India. Justice Khanna’s tenure will be from November 11, 2024 to May 13, 2025.

Reportedly, with the retirement of three judges in 2024, and the Chief Justice of India towards the end of the year, the record pendency of 80,000 cases in the Supreme Court of India will only mount if the vacancies are not filled up in tandem with the judges demitting office.

Though the sanctioned strength of the Supreme Court is 34 judges, the retirement of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul in the third week of December 2023 has already created one vacancy.
