A new roster of cases to be heard by the judges of the Supreme Court of India has been published. The new SC roster will take effect from Monday, November 19.

Three more judges will head Benches, after the appointment of four new judges. The three judges who will be heading Benches are Justices AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud, and Ashok Bhushan.

Among the judges who will be heading the Bench for the first time, Justice Chandrachud will hear appeals against orders of statutory bodies. Besides Chandrachud J., Justices AK Sikri and Rohinton Nariman have already been hearing those matters and will continue to do so.
