The Union Government appointed Justice Joymalya Bagchi as a judge of the Supreme Court, following the recommendation made by the Supreme Court collegium. Justice Bagchi is set to become the Chief Justice of India (CJI) in May 2031, albeit for a little over four months, before retiring on October 2, 2031. Since the retirement of justice Altamas Kabir as CJI in 2013, no judge from the Calcutta High Court has been appointed to the country’s top judicial position. Upon the retirement of Justice KV Viswanathan on May 25, 2031, Justice Bagchi will be in line to assume the role of CJI and would hold that position until his retirement on October 2, 2031.
