Justice Surya Kant, a distinguished judge, is set to become India’s 53rd Chief Justice on Monday, succeeding Justice BR Gavai. With a tenure extending until February 2027, Justice Kant’s career is marked by significant rulings on Article 370, sedition law, and Pegasus spyware. His contributions also span electoral transparency and gender justice within the legal fraternity. File photo Justice Surya Kant, a judge known for his role in several landmark constitutional and civil liberties rulings, will on Monday be sworn in as the 53rd Chief Justice of India. He succeeds Justice BR Gavai, who demits office on Sunday evening. Appointed as the next CJI on October 30, Justice Kant will have a relatively long tenure of nearly 15 months, serving until February 9, 2027, when he turns 65. Born on February 10, 1962, in Haryana’s Hisar district, Justice Surya Kant rose from a modest background to the country’s highest judicial office. Before his elevation, he practised as a lawyer in Hisar and subsequently at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where he delivered several influential judgments. In 2018, he was appointed Chief Justice of the Himachal Pradesh high court.His time in the Supreme Court has been defined by involvement in key cases that shaped national policy, constitutional interpretation and civil liberties.Article 370 verdictJustice Kant was part of the historic bench that upheld the abrogation of Article 370, which removed Jammu & Kashmir’s special status. The judgment remains one of the most consequential constitutional rulings of recent times.Sedition law on hold He was on the bench that effectively suspended the colonial-era sedition law, directing states and the Centre not to register new FIRs under Section 124A IPC until the government completed a reconsideration of the provision. The order was widely viewed as a major push for free speech.Pegasus spyware caseJustice Kant was also part of the bench that heard the Pegasus surveillance allegations. The court appointed a committee of cyber experts to investigate the claims, remarking that the state cannot be given a “free pass in the name of national security.”Bihar electoral rolls revisionIn another significant order, Justice Kant asked the Election Commission to disclose details of 65 lakh voters dropped from Bihar’s draft rolls during a Special Intensive Revision, stressing the importance of transparency in electoral processes.Gender justice and local governanceHe led a bench that reinstated a woman sarpanch removed from office unlawfully, calling out gender bias in the decision. He later directed that one-third of seats in bar associations, including the Supreme Court Bar Association, be reserved for women—an unprecedented push for gender equity within the legal fraternity.Governor–president powers referenceJustice Kant was part of the Constitution Bench hearing the presidential reference on the powers of Governors and the President in dealing with state legislation—an issue with wide political and federal implications. The verdict is awaited.Security breach in PM Modi’s convoyHe was also on the bench that appointed a panel headed by Justice Indu Malhotra to probe the 2022 security lapse during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Punjab, noting that such sensitive matters require judicial scrutiny.One rank-one pension (OROP)Justice Kant upheld the One Rank-One Pension (OROP) scheme as constitutionally valid, while continuing to hear matters related to women officers seeking parity in permanent commission in the armed forces.AMU minority status reconsiderationOn a seven-judge bench, Justice Kant helped overturn the 1967 Aligarh Muslim University ruling, paving the way for a fresh examination of AMU’s minority status.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

PM Modi with Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu (PTI photo) NEW DELHI: Israeli envoy to India, Reuven Azar, on Monday addressed the ongoing Middle East conflict, explaining the timing of Israel’s recent military operation on Iran and its relation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel in February.He acknowledged that tensions around Israel were already high before PM Modi’s arrival, but Tel Aviv waited until the Prime Minister’s departure to seize the “operational opportunity” to act against Iran.“It was evident that the situation is very volatile in our region even before Prime Minister Modi came (on February 25–26, 2026). When it comes to the decision to strike, the operational opportunity came only after PM Modi left.

We have a lot of common interests. Of course, India will pursue diplomatic efforts that serve the Indian interests.”He also commented on Iran’s retaliatory strikes, noting that Israel had anticipated such moves. “We are not surprised, we knew that the Iranians have these capabilities. In fact, following our effort back in June, we have degraded the capabilities of Iranians and the damage that they are inflicting on Israel now is much less than what they did back in June. They decided to escalate by attacking 12 countries in the region. I think this is completely irresponsible…The pressure is on them and will continue to be on them because they are the aggressors.”Responding to disinformation around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Azar said, “Prime Minister Netanyahu is alive. I saw him personally when I was in Israel more than once. This video at the cafe is not AI-fabricated. There is a lot of disinformation.”Regarding Israel’s strategic goals in the conflict, Azar said, “There is no shifting of the goal post. We have stated, at the outset, that we have three goals – to neutralise the nuclear threat, to neutralise the ballistic missile threat and to give the Iranian people an opportunity to embrace the future by degrading the capability of the forces of oppression inside Iran…So, we are doing exactly that. Nothing has changed in terms of our aims…We will make sure that after this war is over, the Iranian regime cannot reconstitute these plans.”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday welcomed BCCI’s decision to instruct Shah Rukh Khan owned Kolkata Knight Riders to release Bangladesh player Mustafizur Rehman from their roster ahead of Indian Premier League.BJP leader Sangeet Som thanked BCCI for its decision and hailed it as a “victory of the Hindus of the entire nation.””Thanks to BCCI for its decision in view of the 100 crore Sanatanis of India,” Som said.”We said yesterday that cognisance will be taken of this matter because the sentiments of 100 crore people cannot be taken lightly. This is the victory of the Hindus of the entire nation,” he added.Earlier in the day, BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia said that the decision was taken “due to the recent development going all across.””Due to the recent developments which is going on all across, BCCI has instructed the franchise KKR to release one of their player Mustafizur Rahman of Bangladesh from their squad and BCCI has also said that if they ask for any replacement, BCCI is going to allow that replacement,” Saikia told news agency ANI.Recently, spiritual leaders had launched a broadside against KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan in context of the recent targeting of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.Devkinandan Thakur criticised Shah Rukh Khan after KKR acquired right-arm pacer Mustafizur for a massive amount of Rs 9.20 crore during the IPL auction.”In Bangladesh, Hindus are being brutally murdered, their homes are being burned, and their sisters and daughters are being raped. After witnessing such brutal killings, how can someone be so heartless, especially someone who calls himself the owner of a team? How can he be so cruel as to include a cricketer from that very country in his team?” he said.Meanwhile, Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, the Chief Imam, All India Imam Organisation, also demanded that Shah Rukh Khan apologise to the nation for inclusion of the Bangladesh pacer in the KKR Squad.Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi said that KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan should give a statement condemning the atrocities being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh and also remove Mustafizur from his team.”Does Shah Rukh Khan have no information regarding the atrocities being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh?… It is a matter of regret that despite having information regarding the atrocities being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh, KKR selected a Bangladeshi player in the IPL auction. Shah Rukh Khan should apologise to the nation…He should also give a statement condemning the atrocities being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh,” Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi told ANI.Earlier, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam had urged KKR owner Shah Rukh Khan to remove the Bangladeshi player from his team before the before he becomes a target.”When the entire country is enraged and angry at Bangladesh, anyone in India who has even the slightest connection to Bangladeshis could become a target of that anger. If there is a Bangladeshi in Shah Rukh Khan’s team, before he becomes a major target, we request that Shah Rukh Khan remove the Bangladeshi from his team. This will be for his own good and will also protect India’s interests,” Sanjay Nirupam told ANI.Reacting to the controversy, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said the focus should be on who permitted Bangladeshi players to be included in the IPL auction in the first place.”First of all, I want to ask who put the Bangladeshi players in that pool. This question is for the BCCI and the ICC. Home Minister’s son, Jay Shah, should answer who put the Bangladeshi players in the pool where IPL players are bought and sold, the pool where the players’ auction takes place… he is the ICC’s chief and the main decision-maker in cricket all around the world,” she said.This comes as Bangladesh saw a series of violent incidents targeting members if Hindu community. Last month, two Hindu youths were lynched in separate incidents. Dipu Chandra Das, a garment factory worker in Mymensingh district, was beaten to death over alleged blasphemy charges on December 18, after which his body was reportedly hanged and set on fire.In another case, a Hindu youth identified as Amrit Mondal was lynched in Hosendanga village of Kalimohor Union in Rajbari’s Pangsha sub-district over an alleged extortion dispute.These incidents have triggered widespread outrage and condemnation from political leaders, religious organisations and minority groups in both Bangladesh and India.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
