New Delhi. Gauhati High Court Chief Justice Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Gujarat High Court judge Justice Jamshed B Pardiwala took oath as judges of the apex court on Monday. During a function held in the auditorium of the additional building complex of the apex court, Chief Justice N.V. Raman administered the oath of office to Justices Dhulia and Pardiwala. After these appointments, there will be a total of 34 judges in the apex court, which was reduced to 32 after the retirement of Justice R Subhash Reddy on January 4 this year.
However, this ideal situation will last for just two days as the sitting judge Justice Vineet Saran will retire on May 10.
According to top court sources familiar with the process, Justice Pardiwala will serve as the Chief Justice of India for more than two years.
Justice Dhulia is the brother of National Award winning film director and actor Tigmanshu Dhulia.
