Chief Justice of India SA Bobde writes a letter to the government recommending Justice NV Ramana's successor on Wednesday. CJI Bobde recommends the appointment of the Supreme Court Judge as Ramana and handed over a copy of the recommendation to Justice Ramana. 

A sudden recommendation of CJI SA Bobde is due to his retirement on April 23. According to news agency PTI, the development comes after the Centre asked the CJI to recommend his successor a little less than a month before his retirement. Now, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad will put recommendation before PM Modi. After that PM Modi will advise the President in the matter of appointment of next CJI. 

Justice NV Ramana has remained as the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court in February 2014 and the acting Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court. He is the senior-most judge in the top court after Chief Justice Bobde. He is due to retire on 26 August 2022.
