Justice K Vinod Chandran

Justice K Vinod Chandran was on Thursday sworn in as a judge of the Supreme Court, taking its strength to 33 judges against a sanctioned strength of 34 judges, including the Chief Justice of India.

CJI Sanjiv Khanna administered the oath of office to Justice Chandran in a brief ceremony at 10.30 am here. Prior to his elevation, Justice Chandran was the Chief Justice of the Patna High Court. The Centre on January 13 notified his appointment as a judge of the SC.

The Supreme Court Collegium of CJI Khanna, Justice BR Gavai, Justice Surya Kant, Justice Hrishikesh Roy and Justice AS Oka on January 7 unanimously recommended the elevation of Justice Chandran as a judge of the SC.

Justice Chandran was appointed as a judge of the Kerala High Court on November 8, 2011, and was elevated as the Chief Justice of the Patna HC on March 23, 2023.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
