भारत के 53वें CJI जस्टिस सूर्यकान्त को राष्ट्रपति ने दिलवाई शपथ

भारत के नए मुख्य न्यायाधीश जस्टिस सूर्यकान्त ने सोमवार को राष्ट्रपति भवन में भारत के 53वें मुख्य न्यायाधीश के रूप में शपथ ली। राष्ट्रपति द्रौपदी मुर्मु ने उन्हें शपथ दिलाई।

बताया जा रहा है, हाल के कुछ मुख्य न्यायाधीशों के कार्यकाल को देखें तो जस्टिस सूर्यकांत कार्यकाल लंबा होगा, जो कि 15 महीने, यानी फ़रवरी 2027 तक चलेगा।

आपको बता दें की चीफ़ जस्टिस ऑफ इंडिया की शपथ भारत के राष्ट्रपति भवन में तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति की मौजूदगी में होती है, इस शपथ ग्रहण समारोह के दौरान प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी समेत कई बड़े नेता भी मौजूद थे।

चीफ़ जस्टिस भारत के न्यायपालिका व्यवस्था के मुख्य अधिकारी होते हैं। वे ना केवल एक जज के तौर पर मामलों में फैसले लेते हैं, बल्कि सुप्रीम कोर्ट से जुड़ी सारी प्रशासनिक कार्यों पर भी निर्णय लेते हैं।

जस्टिस सूर्यकांत ने अपने जीवन के 22वें वर्ष से हरियाणा में वकालत शुरू की थी, आज वे भारत के CJI बने।

भारत में कितने CJI हुए हैं, उनका कार्यकाल, उनके तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति?
