Justice NV Ramana is currently the most senior judge of the Supreme Court. As per tradition till now, Justice Ramana was to take over as the next CJI of the country. Traditionally, about a month before retirement, the country's serving Chief Justice wrote a letter to the President recommending that the most senior Supreme Court judge be made his successor.

Upon receipt of the confidential letter from the CJI, the government completes all the formalities and appoints the most senior judge to the post of Chief Justice and the President administers the oath of office to him. Once or twice in history, the government has intervened and made a junior judge the chief justice in violation of the seniority order.
