The Centre on Monday notified the appointment of Patna High Court Chief Justice K Vinod Chandran as a judge of the Supreme Court.

Currently the Supreme Court is functioning with 32 judges against its full sanctioned strength of 34 judges, including the CJI. Once Justice Chandran takes oath of office, the actual strength of the top court would reach 33 judges, including the CJI.

Justice Chandran would be administered the oath of office on Wednesday, sources said. Union Minister of State for Law and Justice (Independent Charge) Arjun Ram Meghwal took to X to announce the appointment.

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).
