On August 31, nine new Supreme Court judges were administered their oaths of office by Chief Justice NV Ramana. The new top court judges included three women. History was created on August 31 as this is the first time that nine SC judges have been sworn in at one time. Justice BV Nagarathna (former Karnataka High Court judge) also took oath.
