Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: In a significant development for India’s judiciary, Chief Justice of India B R Gavai today administered the oath of office to three newly appointed judges of the Supreme Court. The swearing-in ceremony took place on May 30, restoring the apex court to its full sanctioned strength of 34 judges, including the Chief Justice.

The newly appointed judges are

  • Justice NV Anjaria, Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court
  • Justice Vijay Bishnoi, Chief Justice of Gauhati High Court
  • Justice AS Chandurkar, Judge of the Bombay High Court

Filling Vacancies in the Top Court
These appointments were made against the three existing vacancies in the Supreme Court, created following the retirements of former CJI Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Abhay S Oka, and Justice Hrishikesh Roy.

While the Court is currently at full strength, a new vacancy will arise on June 9 with the superannuation of Justice Bela M Trivedi.

Who Are the New Supreme Court Judges?

  • Completed LLM from University School of Law, Ahmedabad (1989)

  • Elevated as Additional Judge of Gujarat High Court in 2011 and became permanent judge in 2013
  • Took oath as Chief Justice of Karnataka High Court on February 25, 2024

Justice Vijay Bishnoi

Born on March 26, 1964, in Jodhpur, Justice Bishnoi began his legal career in 1989, practicing before the Rajasthan High Court and Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).

  • Appointed Additional Judge of Rajasthan High Court in 2013
