Notably, CJI Chandrachud has assigned himself to every bench he has constituted since taking office.
Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra have both been assigned to 8 benches each.
Next on the list is Justice Sanjiv Khanna who was assigned to 5 benches. Justice Khanna will take over as CJI when CJI Chandrachud demits office this November.
Future CJIs BR Gavai, Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala have all been assigned to at least one bench.
However, Justice BV Nagarathna, who will be India’s first woman CJI, has not been assigned any Constitution Bench cases yet.
Justice KV Viswanathan, who will also be CJI from August 2030 to May 2031, was first assigned to a 7-judge bench to hear the Aligarh Muslim University case. However, he was later replaced by Justice SC Sharma.
