Justice Nuttalapati Venkata Ramana became the 48th Chief Justice of India today.  President Ramnath Kovind administered him the oath of office at 11 am. 


 Many judges of the Supreme Court were present in the program including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu.  Justice Ramana will have a tenure of 16 months, with a short-spoken and mild nature.

 His term will be till 26 August 2022 Born on 27 August 1957 in Ponnavaram village in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, Justice Ramana took part in the Jai Andhra movement for the rights of the people of coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema at a young age.  

He was associated with student politics during college days and also did journalism for some time.  Ramana, who started advocacy in February 1983, was an advocate for several departments of the central government, besides being the Additional Advocate General of Andhra Pradesh.  

In 2000, he became a permanent judge of the Andhra Pradesh High Court.  Prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court in 2014, he was the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court.  His term as Chief Justice of India will be till 26 August 2022.  In this way, he will remain in this important post for 16 months.


 In the last few years, the most popular decision of Justice Ramana has been to restore internet in Jammu and Kashmir.  He also presided over the bench which ordered the creation of special courts in every state for speedy hearing of pending cases against MPs / MLAs. Ramana has also been a member of the bench which gave the decision to bring the office of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court under the purview of the Right to Information Act (RTI).

 A 5-judge bench headed by Ramana dismissed the curative petition of the accused in the Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case.  After this, the way of his hanging was cleared.  On 26 November 2019, a bench headed by Justice Ramana ordered the Devendra Fadnavis government of Maharashtra to conduct a majority test in the assembly the next day.  After this, the Fadnavis government fell.

 6 posts of judges vacant in Supreme Court For the last 1 year, hearing is being conducted in the Supreme Court only through video conferencing.  One of the main responsibilities of Justice Ramana will be to improve this system and to start regular hearings again on the appropriate occasion.  At present, 6 posts of judges are vacant in the Supreme Court.  Sending recommendations to the government for their appointment will also be their priority.
