Supreme Court judge Ranjan Gogoi will become chief justice on October 3, to succeed retiring Dipak Misra who has been the target of unprecedented criticism this year from politicians and judges, including Gogoi.
The appointment is in line with Misra's recommendation this month based on Gogoi's seniority, as per common practice.
But Gogoi was one of four Supreme Court judges who, in January, publicly aired concerns about judicial appointments and the distribution of cases under Misra's leadership.
