Chief justices of the Madras and Delhi high courts — Justices Rajesh Kumar Agrawal and Nuthapati Venkata Ramana — were sworn in as judges of the Supreme Court, enabling the highest court to attain its full sanctioned strength of 31 judges, including the Chief Justice of India.
CJI P Sathasivam administered the oath of office to Justices Agrawal and Ramana in a packed court room No.1. At the customary, post-swearing in tea gathering, the CJI was reluctant to take the entire credit for the quick filling of vacancies to help the SC achieve full strength of judges.
Justice Sathasivam, who has set an enviable record for quick pronouncement of judgments, said equal credit must go to law minister Kapil Sibal, central government and the judges in the collegium for completing the process of appointment to vacant posts
