Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra has reportedly written a letter to the government endorsing and recommending Justice Ranjan Gogoi’s name as his successor.

Justice Gogoi is the second senior-most judge of the apex court after Chief Justice Dipak Misra.

As per the convention, the outgoing Chief Justice sends the recommendation regarding his successor at least a month before retirement, so that the Chief Justice-designate is named well in time.

Chief Justice Misra will demit office on October 1, a day before his last working day since October 2 is a holiday.

And so, if the Central government clears the recommendation, Justice Gogoi will likely take the oath as CJI on October 3.
