First-ever: Supreme Court livestreams proceedings on last working day of Justice NV Ramana as CJI

For the first time in the history of the Supreme Court, the proceedings of the Apex Court were streamed live on Friday.

As the Court braced up to bid farewell to Chief Justice N.V. Ramana, the ceremonial bench of outgoing CJI Ramana, CJI designate Justice U.U. Lalit and Justice Hima Kohli took up a few important cases.

Dushyant Dave, Senior Advocate and former President of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), broke down as he bid farewell to the CJI.

Calling him a ‘Citizen’s judge’, Mr. Dave said Justice Ramana has always performed his duty with a spine. 

He further said that Justice Ramana was leaving the court in the great hands of Justice Lalit (CJI designate) and Justice Kohli.

Mr. Dave concluded by thanking the 48th CJI for the contribution he made during around eight years in the Supreme Court and said he will be missed dearly.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta also expressed his views during the farewell of CJI Ramana.

Calling the Bench as the biological family of the CJI, the SG said Justice Ramana became a great ‘Karta’ of the Bar, thus performing his roles on both sides exceptionally well.

The proceedings were telecast live for the public on the webcast portal of National Informatics Centre (NIC).
