According to convention, such benches are run by relatively junior judges during the summer and Christmas breaks of the Supreme Court. The five senior-most judges, including the Chief Justice, have never sat on vacation benches. But during this year’s summer break, Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi will head the vacation bench from May 25 to 30. Shah will be the other judge on the vacation bench.
