NEW DELHI: Justice Dipak Misra was sworn in as the 45th Chief Justice of India on Monday.
He was administered the oath of office by President Ram Nath Kovind during a brief ceremony in the Darbar Hall of Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Misra who is the senior most judge in the top court will have a tenure of 14 months and will demit office in October 2018.
Justice Misra in his long career has been credited with numerous notable verdicts, he headed the bench that dismissed Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon’s plea seeking a stay on his execution, as well as upholding the death sentence given to Nirbhaya’s killers. He is also know for issuing directions to Delhi Police to upload FIRs on their website within 24 hours of registration so the accused could download them and seek redressal of their grievances. He was equally strict against frivolous litigation.
