The Central Government has clarified its stand on the selection of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad was asked in a press conference on Monday whether the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will be Ranjan Gogoi or not.

In response to this, he said that there should be no doubt about the central government's commitment. We have a tradition here, "the current Chief Justice recommends the name of his successor. After the recommendation, the government will look at it."
