Chief Justice of India

The Chief Justice of India is the highest-ranking judge in the Supreme Court of India, and thus

holds the highest judicial position in India. As well as presiding in the Supreme Court, the Chief

Justice also head its administrative functions.

The current Chief Justice is S. H. Kapadia, who has held the office since 12th May 2010.

As the chief judge, the Chief Justice is responsible for the allocation of cases and appointment ofconstitutional benches which deal with important matters of law. In accordance with Article 145 ofthe Constitution of India and the Supreme Court Rules of Procedure of 1966, the Chief Justiceallocates work to the other judges, who are bound to refer the matter back to him or her in casethey require the matter to be looked into by a bench of higher strength.

On the administrative side, the Chief Justice carries out the following functions:

y maintenance of the roster;y appointment of court officials;y general and miscellaneous matters relating to the supervision and functioning of the Supreme

Court

Appointment of the Chief Justice of India

Article 124 of the Constitution of India provides for the manner of appointing judges to the SupremeCourt. However, no specific provision is made as to the appointment of the Chief Justice; as aresult, the latter is appointed in the same manner as for the other judges to the Supreme Court.

Generally speaking, the most senior (i.e. earliest appointed) judge in the Supreme Court is proposedby the Government of India to the President. The President then approves the appointment after

consulting with such other judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts as he or she thinksnecessary. However, this convention has been breached on a number of occasions, most notablyduring the premiership ofIndira Gandhi, when A.N. Raywas appointed as the Chief Justice despitethree judges being more senior than him. It was alleged that Ray was appointed because he wasconsidered to be a supporter of Gandhi's government, during a time when her government wasbecoming increasingly mired in a political and constitutional crisis.

In the aftermath ofthe Emergency, the Supreme Court in a series of landmark decisions assertedits position and independence. In one such case the Court declared (in the constitutional bench S.PGupta - II case) that the Government of India would be bound to nominate only the most seniorjudge of the Supreme Court for the position of Chief Justice, thereby removing a potential source forGovernment influence over the judiciary. Since then, the convention has been followed without

exception.

Once appointed, the Chief Justice remains in office until his or her retirement or death, unless

removed by impeachment

Oath of affirmation

I, name, having been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India do swear in the name oGod/solemnly affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by lawestablished, that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India, that I will duly and faithfully


8/12

and to the best of my ability, knowledge and judgment perform the duties of my office without fearor favour, affection or ill-will and that I will uphold the Constitution and the laws.

List of Chief Justices of India

Other notable judges

Since the appointment to the office of the Chief Justice of India has been by convention on basis of

seniority, the procedure has been criticized by various jurists and constitutional experts as beingaverse to talent and non-recognition leading abilities. On this count, various judges of the SupremeCourt are named who showed inspiring leadership ability, but because of the seniority rule couldnot become the Chief Justice of India. Some of these names have been:

y Justice K. K. Mathew for his impeccable legal scholarship and various decisive judgementsy Justice H.R. Khanna who delivered the landmark dissent in Habeas Corpus case.y Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer known for his human right approach and literary merit in decision-

making.y Justice R.S. Sarkaria known for his immaculate understanding of Administrative law etcetera.y Justice O.P. Chinnappa Reddyfor his landmark decisions on constitutional law.

S. H. Kapadia

Sarosh Homi Kapadia (Gujarati: t) (Hindi: ) (born 29

September 1947[1]) is the thirty-eighth and current Chief Justice of India.[2]

Early life

S. H. Kapadia belonged to a gentle lower middle-class Parsi family from the Khetwadi-Girgaumregion of Bombay. His father was a clerk in a defence establishment, his mother a homemaker.Kapadia completed his BA and LLB and immediately began working. Higher education would havebeen a luxury. He acknowledged his humble beginnings in a letter he wrote to Justice V R Krishna

Iyer recently. I come from a poor family. I started my career as a class IV employee and the onlyasset I possess is integrity... he said. He joined Gagrat & Co, a law firm as a clerk and later, wentto work for highly respected labour lawyer Feroze Damania. Soon after, the family moved toAndheri, Mumbai. He married Shahnaz with whom he to has two sons.

The young Sarosh may not have been rich but what he did possess was ambition and determinationto become a judge. He became counsel for the income tax department in 1974, aged 27. He alsoappeared for the then Bombay Municipal Corporation in matters concerning rateable value andoctroi. He represented the Maharashtra government and several public sector undertakings (PSUs)until he was appointed a high court judge. As a judge of the Bombay High Court, he decidedmatters ranging from environmental to banking, M&As, industrial disputes, taxation and so on, but

developed a reputation for his expertise on commercial and tax law.

The best thing that ever happened to him was the stock scam of 1999 involving broker KetanParekh. He was appointed judge of the special court established under the Trial of Offences Relatingto Transaction in Securities Act in 1999. He played an important role in the proceedings of the JointParliamentary Committee constituted to investigate the stock scam.

On August 5, 2003, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Uttarakhand High Court and inDecember of that year, he was elevated to the Supreme Court, thus serving only a very short tenureas chief justice of a high court.


9/12

In the Supreme Court, Kapadia delivered some landmark judgements which included a decisionrelating to succession of property in April 30, 2005 in which he ruled out the possibility of

conducting the DNA test.

He was part of the three-member Bench that decided income tax case of Rashtriya Janata Dal chiefLalu Prasad. The verdict went in favour of Prasad but Justice Kapadia gave a dissenting judgementsaying the income tax department should have filed an appeal against the Income Tax AppellateTribunal (ITAT) order.

There are some controversies that, however, are inexplicable. Justice A P Shah of the Delhi HighCourt (who was part of the bench that gave the judgment on homosexuals rights) was to have beenelevated to the Supreme Court. Kapadia was the chief dissenting voice in the five-member collegiumthat decides who should or should not move up to the Supreme Court. Some say this was becauseof rivalry from the days when he and Shah were judges in the Bombay High Court. Others sayKapadia was disapproving of two judgments Shah had delivered as Chief Justice of the Madras High

Court.

Now, the biggest professional challenge for the man who has spent his entire life working towardsbecoming a judge is to decide who should scrutinise the Chief Justice of India and whether heshould come under the purview of the Right to Information Act. This has far-reaching implications

for both law and justice.

Kapadia is conscious that he has to uphold both equity and fairness. On the issue of honourkillings, he has said justice by khaps (local communities) is a social not a legal matter. On the otherhand, throughout his life, he has ruled in favour of tribals and the dispossessed.

Indias legal establishment is weighed down by work, and central issues like police reform havetemporarily taken a back seat. Crusading judges have their drawbacks, but Kapadia has theadvantage of being utterly focussed. Hopefully, the legal system will benefit from this. [3][4][5]
