CJI changes subject-wise roster in Supreme Court

The Chief Justice of India has changed the subject-wise roster for judges in the Supreme Court to categorise cases for Justice R. Banumathi, who now heads a Bench. The change follows the recent appointment of Justices Indira Banerjee, Vineet Saran and K.M. Joseph in the Supreme Court, taking the judicial strength to 25 of a total sanctioned strength of 31. While not touching the roster for other judges, the Bench headed by Justice Banumathi would hear a host of cases on family law issues, labour, civil cases, public premises eviction, land law, etc. The subject-wise roster was first implemented from February 5 this year after a press conference by four seniormost Supreme Court judges over “selective” allocation of cases to certain Benches by recent CJIs .
