CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA IS 'MASTER OF ROSTER', AND HE HAS FULL POWER TO ALLOCATE CASES: ATTORNEY GENERAL TOLD SUPREME COURT

Attorney General KK Venugopal on Friday told the Supreme Court that the Chief Justice of India is the "master of roster" and he has full power to allocate cases and to maintain discipline, and also said that if a number of judges are involved in deciding on the roster and allocation of cases, there might be a "chaos". The Attorney General made this observation while responding to a petition by senior advocate Shanti Bhushan who questioned the CJI as the Master of Roster and wanted allocation of cases to be decided by either the Collegium or the full court.
