The CJI, who was part of the bench which delivered the Ayodhya judgment in 2019, will not attend the event at Ayodhya since it is a regular working day for the Supreme Court.
Former CJIs Ranjan Gogoi, SA Bobde and Justice Abdul Nazeer (now Governor of Andhra Pradesh), who were also part of the Ayodhya bench, will not attend the ceremony owing to prior official commitments’.
The only judge from the Ayodhya bench who would be attending the consecration ceremony is Justice Ashok Bhushan. Justice Bhushan is the current chairperson of National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.
“I booked my tickets yesterday. I will be attending,” Justice Bhushan told Bar & Bench.
