With the Supreme Court functioning at the strength of 30 judges, including the Chief Justice of India as on August 27, the expected line of succession of coming nine CJIs can be safely ascertained, provided that the rule of seniority is followed.

Delivering the inaugural lecture instituted in the memory of Justice Satya Brata Sinha, CJI Ramana said media trials affect the fair functioning and independence of the judiciary.

The Centre told the Court today that it doesn't want to file additional affidavit in the matter as it involves national security.

Therefore, media trials cannot be a guiding factor in deciding cases," the CJI said, adding it is also imperative to start a discourse as to how social media trends can affect the institutions.
Sources told PTI that the Supreme Court Registry detected the fake Twitter handle with the name @NVRamanma with the name and designation of the CJI in the profile.
